Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Read a Dean Rolling Stone interview where he said his health and environment decisions will be from scientific proof. Keep it in mind. :-) On his agriculture agenda at his website is confronting the big beef industry leaders under antitrust laws, same as Microsoft, so they cannot own large amounts of beef, dictate raising and continue to control the market and health of the beef. Doesn't hurt to imagine what could be without crash and burn mindsets. > > I found this very interesting ... gliadin seems to promote free radicals > -- maybe that is why we need so much Vit C on the Western diet ...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yeah! Howeard Dean is gonna save us! But curious, no mention of the USDA on his web site. Oh I get it, the government gets to create problems, and then they get to save us from the problem! Kind of like terrorism, and health care, and... brilliant! " Corn is a mainstay of livestock diets because there is no other feed quite as cheap or plentiful: thanks to federal subsidies and ever-growing surpluses, the price of corn ($2.25 a bushel) is 50 cents less than the cost of growing it. The rise of the modern factory farm is a direct result of these surpluses, which soared in the years following World War II, when petrochemical fertilizers came into widespread use. Ever since, the U.S.D.A.'s policy has been to help farmers dispose of surplus corn by passing as much of it as possible through the digestive tracts of food animals, converting it into protein. Compared with grass or hay, corn is a compact and portable foodstuff, making it possible to feed tens of thousands of animals on small plots of land. Without cheap corn, the modern urbanization of livestock would probably never have occurred.
