Hey guys

Thanks for the kind words.

Nicky I saw the trailer for King Corn on Mark Sissons blog, looks interesting. I recently skimmed through the omnivore’s dilemma as well which seemed to point out the same things that film does- but I’ll check it out someday when I have a moment.

Also, something I probably should have mentioned in the original post- I recently skimmed through the Paleo Diet (awesome book) but the author draws similar conclusions on saturated fat as we did above.

Since wild animals have lower levels of saturated fat (because they are non grain fed) it’s instantly associated with being BAD- a false assumption IMO, but surprising to come from someone writing a book titled The Paleo Diet.

Have you seen the film ‘King Corn’? It’s a pretty awesome look into the Corn industry as 2 college grads move to Iowa and grow an acre themselves. You would definitely enjoy the information as well as the different perspectives it reveals.

Amen to that! It is awesome that a hot fella such as yourself has caught on to this and understands it as well. Thanks for puttin the word out more Dream!

On a side note I found this statement intriguing “Fun fact, corn is not part of the natural diet for any animal on the planet. It’s not even found in the wild.” THAT is SO WEIRD especially given that entire cultures have sprung up around this food (namely Mexican and Indian). It is strange how humanity has taken great pains to separate itself from the rest of the animal kingdom and often not realized how detrimental that has been for the health of our own species.
