Drought likely to affect the economy for years.

I'm guessing that beef, chicken, pork prices will be going way down, but only briefly. You may want to stock up. This could be a long ugly one.

Interesting viewpoint. Entire cultures were built on the cultivation
of corn. It is food, and man is an omnivore, facts. Like it or not.
It is good to be so self-sufficient, even if it is a dream.

The rich got their grains from eating the poor.
Much like today.

I eat corn on the cob because it's delicious when grilled, dripping with butter and salted moderately to heavily.

I certainly think it's fit for a dog, so I eat it, too.

I prefer meat, cheese, fruits, and vegetables.........but there's always room for a little grain, too.

What? Global Climate Change? Is that what you're saying?

Why do you hate 'Merica so much, Slabby?

Fish on...

FP- Maybe I am confused here but are you saying people may eat healthier because the drought will decrease the grain crops? Wouldn't the drought also decrease the fresh fruit/vegetables? Leading people to eat more boxed type foods?

Climate change?......ever hear of the Dust Bowl of the '30's? Climate changes are a fact of life.

hate 'Merica?.........really! Bozo statement. OH, you mean your interpretation. I'm not the one trying to change everything on someone else's dollar and calling it progressive....BTW, that's a classic oxymoron......going forward by promoting backward progression?

Has it occurred to you that anyone living in a blacktop jungle preaching to those who don't, should maybe be looking in the mirror when expounding on the detrimental effects of development?

Plant a tree in your own yard, get off the grant teat, and live within your means.......? THAT would be a change I could go for.

Here's your cookie.....you do some good things and I don't want to diminish that in any way. It's funny that you think I'm a product of mass agenda thinking.....and I think you are the same. I think government is way over the line, and you want more. Tough differences.

The dust bowl was a product of the lack of crop rotation as much as drought.

And it didn't cover that much area.



This drought is way more widespread.



I find the comparison rather apple and orangish.

Different look?

The Air Force weather controlling device seems to be quite effective. Damn military ruining something else.

you talkin about HAARP?

Corn on the cob and corn whiskey! It's whats for dinner!!!

Mmmm...spiders.

P.S. I eat bugs on purpose, too...only they are at least 6 1/4" across the carapace, and come from the sea.

Prince--on this post your all "I dont eat corn" then on the movie theater post your talking about eating popcorn? wtf dude








Yeee Haaa

If you eat only organic food, you'll be sure you'll die of only organic cancer.

Most dietary claims are backed up by little more than anecdotal evidence. Our understanding of how diet affects your overall health is rudimentary at best, mostly because there are so many confounding factors when trying to perform any study with enough participants to gather meaningful data.

If you feel good, your blood chemistry looks good, and you're not obese, then that's all you really need to know. You can check if your poop floats if you want, or eat only raw foods, but it won't have a thing to do with how healthy you are. Ask Jim Fixx.

Exactly.

He could try any type of diet out there, and it would have done jack to save him.

That guy needed Lipitor 20 years before Lipitor.

My dad's dad died at 52. His dad died at 50. My old man was one of the first to take statins, and he's 76 now. There's no way that was going to happen with a change in diet.

That's how it works with most people, though.........your genetics will have more to do with how you age than your diet will.

Saying that eating organic won't save you from a gunshot wound is a lot different than saying, all things being equal, that eating organic is better for you.

It's common sense, but it's hard to prove.

And if you can't prove it, then why get all wound up about it?

If you and your identical twin ate the same diet, you choosing organic and your twin not, you would most likely not be able to document any overall health benefit to you.

Eat organic because you like the taste, or you like the way it's brought to market, or because you think you look cooler buying organic products. I'm just saying you'll have a hard time proving it's making you healthier.

Word.

You were given a liver for a reason.
