I've been waiting for an opportunity to inject
this: Grain is not something anyone (or any of our food animals) NEEDS to
eat. It has gained its prominence in the food chain because it is
concentrated nutrition that is relatively easy to grow, store, and transport in
volume. In other words, it's a socioeconomic tool, rather than a
nutritional necessity. Grain (and oil and other commodities) in the food
system is a major contributor to our current pickle. Grow and eat your own
vegetables.
And I agree, the best course for most apartment
dwellers is to support their local commercial growers. However, I still
would like to see more people grow whatever they can. Just try to make
good decisions about what you try.
