<p>Do you not see any connection between these two statements?</p>
<p>Now back to Monsanto, which attempted to sue one of the last independent dairies in New England out of existence, for daring to print “No artificial growth hormones” on its milk (Monsanto v Oakhurst Dairy). The asterisk noting that the FDA says it doesn’t matter one iota if dairy cows are fed growth hormones that go into your milk (paraphrasing!) is the result of that settlement.</p>

<p>The butterfly-nectar-soybean story is not true.</p>
<p>100% of people die after consuming even one sip of organic tomato juice.</p>
<p>^Yes, this omelet would not sound too healthy to many of us, not in comparison to corn. “organic” is also very questinable. First, ALL of our soil is completely depleted of valuable minerals and other things that make food nutritional. So, it has to be enriched somehow. How they enrich it? They used to put the cow’s you know what, but what do they use know. If nothing, then it perfectly explains that lack of taste in organic food. The lack of taste is an indication of lacking nutrients. It is pretty much waste of calories to consume an orange that does not have much taste in it, it is pretty close to consuming a candy. Just stick to your berries collected in the woods and you will be all set. Yes, I am into something, you can have it or not, it is up to you…it is called common sense, no great science will ever subsitute it.</p>

<p>That very statement was already addressed earlier in the thread. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>As already stated, the chickens my friend raises (and from whom I get great eggs), eat worms, grasshoppers, grain, etc. By this logic, if I said I don’t eat worms and grasshoppers, you would say that I do in fact eat worms and grasshoppers?</p>
<p>I don’t eat corn and corn products because they are too high and carbs and I do not tolerate them well. Let’s not suggest that I am eating a diet of corn because eggs might come from chickens which eat corn. </p>
<p>Seriously, people?!</p>
<p>

<p>MiamaDAP, no disrespect intended, but you are the last person I would listen to on anything remotely related to “health.” You are absolutely wrong that the omelet I referenced would be less healthy for me than eating a bunch of corn. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Unfortunately, for many, by the time we see the results of all this science, we’ll be long off CC.</p>
<p>Hotel California</p>
<p>Since when is the saying “You are what you eat” literal?</p>
<p>^ point is, we really don’t know. We are asked to place our trust in science and the idea of positive advancements. And in what limits “organic” will tolerate. If all the corn seeds are engineered, what good is planting your own?</p>
<p>Here is non GMO sweet corn, though certainly not a super sweet variety. You’d need the old method of cooking, boil water, then go pick, husking as you run to the house to drop corn into the water, as the sugar converts to starch as soon as picked. Per legend anyhow. Seed Savers Exchange sells and preserves heirloom seed varieties of many foods. </p>

<p>Europe is far more careful at examining food issues than we are, less beholden to corporations, and a good place to look for guidance. </p>
<p>Not eating wheat, corn is my delight and indulgence in life. Will try for organic, with the GMO issues.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to recommend books? I read a really entertaining, educational, enlightening and all around great book about organics, gmos…it’s titled Tomorrow’s Table and it is co-written by a plant biologist and an organic farmer (and I want to say these two are married to each other). Very eye-opening for everyone</p>

<p>I’d like to know what the anti-corn lobbyists were lobbying for.</p>
<p>"MiamaDAP, no disrespect intended, but you are the last person I would listen to on anything remotely related to “health.”
<p>Lets just keep on talking about corn and not how “young” we are identified as…:rolleyes:</p>
<p>What I am saying that even breathing is harmful. Oxigenation causes the major damage. So, listenning to everybody out there instead of using your common sense is kind of…Well if you start taking sentances out of every post and re-interpreting them into your own liking, then they become meanningless, I completely agree with this again. We are much more in agreement tahn disagreement, because we are using our common sense much more than we actually realize. And we all die from something at the end, diying is a part of life cycle, we can wish to aoid it, but it is unavoidable, for better or worse, depending how you look at it. got to let the next generation to use space on this planet. And they will continue breathing the oxygen that destroys their system and eating omelets and cornm whatever they prefer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That has zero relevance to me…as did you telling me that an omelet was not healthy relative to corn…again, “family history of diabetes,” “metabolic syndrome,” “carbohydrate intolerance.” Yes, you’re right, I shouldn’t listen to you because in this instance you don’t know what you are talking about.</p>
<p>Common sense is fine and good, but I also rely on science and good medical advice from people who have actually studied medicine and nutrition. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh good grief.</p>
<p>Back to topic, coincidentally enough, DH asked me to buy some corn today at the grocery store. So my healthy, non carb intolerant guy who stays thin no matter what, will get fresh corn on the cob tonight with dinner. Can’t grow our own, so the best I could come up with was corn from Whole Foods. ;)</p>
<p>How is an omelette not healthy…I don’t even…???</p>
<p>Anywho, don’t mind me, but I’m going to run out and buy some corn. Candy corn that is. :)</p>
<p>We’re all gonna die!!! (except me. I am going to live forever! 
)</p>
<p>^^^You found the Grail? Dang it, I knew someone would “choose wisely” eventually.</p>

Do you have the citation? Sounds very interesting.</p>
