I’m sure it has nothing to do with this:

Feed corn needs to be fed to livestock again-not made into ethanol that is bad for your vehicle’s engine...

The kind of corn you eat is locally grown out here-nice and fresh because what is in the local grocery store was just picked a couple of days ago, and no factory farms around. And you couldn’t pay me to eat any of the crap at Cracker Barrel-or any other chain or non-local restaurant-who knows where that food came from, how fresh, how many pesticides it has been sprayed with, is it non-GMO, etc-no thanks...

More and more we will find ourselves ‘odd man out’ in the world marketplace. This is going to be a brutal and hurtful wakeup event.

We need to eat meat. During the Ice Age, that’s all there was available to us. Corn is for herbivores.

Tortillas are ok, heavily stuffed with strips of beef and chicken, and some chiles and onions.

Pretty much how I eat them. Sometimes with ham or bacon & egg. Green salsa. Better than with flour tortillas.

I haven’t eaten corn in seven yrs. Sugar. Unhealthy.

Corn isn’t food it’s animal feed.
The corn tortillas I made today is my counterargument.


Yellow corn is animal feed.

your tortillas are made of white corn.

Nope. My tortillas were made with a mix of white and yellow corn. White corn on its own is rather bland.

With Sloe Joe, The Hoe and their criminal enterprise running the show, I don’t doubt it!

Agree on the ethanol edict. A dumbass move by a lot of people who should have known better!

They are not really fighting us. Rather they are preparing for a post-USA world.
