Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says

178. Well, I don't think I claimed that.

But I will demure. Indeed, Sno-Balls are neither necessary nor sufficient food. But neither is beer. And I would rather be without Sno-balls than an occasional beer, or so.

I guess my point is that a diet which maligns a specific food type is not very logical. Saying wheat is evil is counter to the fact that humans have lived off wheat for many thousands of years, since the beginning of agriculture, the beginning of people living in villages.

The first harvestable wheats were natural hybrids of natural grasses. But humans, by either accident or intent, brought about the more modern hybrid of today's wheat.

It is like those who think that genetic modifications of crops are utterly evil. Shit! Humans have been doing it for tens of thousands of years.

Show me a person who protest GMO food and goes home to feed their pedigree dog breed, and I will show you a hypocrite.

The only argument against GMO food, is not that it is genetically modified, since genetic modification goes back tens of thousands of years, but that only today, a company can own that genetic modification.

That's the problem. It's an economic problem which has little to do with the genetics which we have been doing for so many thousands of years.

I have sympathy with the economic argument, but no sympathy at all with their baseless pseudo-scientific argument. No one company should own a patent to a genome.

But I diverge here. Food is food. Humans, and their ancestors, have been eating food for millions of years. Our heritage tells us more about our proper diet as the bullshit advertisements for so-called "natural" or "organic" or any other advertising label a company might want to apply. Fucking arsenic is natural. The Death Angel mushroom is organic. Doesn't make them edible.
