Saw a documentary on corn, think it was a Nova, where the hybridized
corn backwards to what they found in archaeological digs of early
new world folks. Turns our corn was a 6" long grass with two or
three tiny seeds.

That is where all those vegetarians are more
healthy studies comes from. Real/strict vegi's are
demonstrably unhealthy, unless they comes from area with
poor sanitation and have a lot of bugs eggs and bug parts in
in the grains. So they take political vegetarians -- meaning
they won't eat anything prettier than they are -- and study
them. These political vegi's are vegi's in name only. They
eat eggs, chicken, fish, milk, etc.. They are technically
omnivorous who eat healthy: organic foods, their own gardens,
they cook, very little processed anything. Then they compare
these omnivorous to the general population eating processed
meats and high carbs, disgusting stock yard meat etc..

Of course health couscous omnivorous are more healthy. What
a crock of S---!
