I think it is clear that grain, and it's ability to store "wealth", has been a major factor in the development of the stratified, unjust, and contentious civilization that we have today.

A part of the issue at hand, that this article does not speak of, is that all this grain production is feeding the highest bidder, whether that is stockmen feeding cattle or speculators undercutting US wheat farmers.  Meanwhile the cattle, that can't really digest the grain, are farting like mad. Grocers who have too much bread are dumping it into the dumpster, and the very people who grow it, can't afford to buy it for dinner and are starving

 

Yours, Pego
