Might As Well Burn It

Corn as we knew it is virtually extinct. There are still some hidden heirloom fields, but they are few and far between. GMO corn is now the norm, rather than the exception. I've even received updates and notes from various homesteaders and heirloom seed venders that the verification of heirloom corn is nearly impossible. There are still some hybrids that haven't been genetically engineered, yet, but they are also becoming an endangered species.

For those who still can't imagine summer without "roastin' ears" there's still time to get some seeds in the ground and hybrid seed corn is not a health issue, so . . .

When my Grandchildren were younger, I used to have a thought that I would dismiss quickly, but it was there none the less. I realized some of the things that we have taken for granted simply will no longer be available in their lifetime. It looks like grains are quickly becoming one of those items.

I used to be upset about the ethanol gasoline, even blogged about it a time or two. Corn was for food, not burning up and it causes all sorts of gummy problems in fuel lines, but considering the nutritional value of GMO grains, you might as well burn it.

It's not food any more!
