The Fond Memory of Roastin' Ears

Natural, genetically unmodified roastin' ears are truly a part of American history.  That's not to say there isn't a backyard garden somewhere with some heirloom seeds planted, but "they" say corn can cross pollinate up to two miles away.  We do know much of our prepared food includes some sort of corn syrup or corn meal, and that corn is raised on a large scale corporate farm that plants modified seed to withstand all the herbicides and pesticides.

I remember when my grandchildren were small, the thought that crossed my mind as we prepared our evening meal.  This would some day be just a memory.  The thought didn't pertain to all of us fixing and cooking together, although they have long outgrown sitting on the counter and licking the beaters, but it was more of a prophetic knowing that some day we would no longer be enjoying that food we were eating.  The thought was, the food would be changed.

At that time, the economic collapse was becoming obvious, I just figured some things in life would no longer be affordable or available by supply and demand, and then there was the whole gasoline issue.  Well, as the times have continued to unfold, many of the factors in that thought have come to pass, but not exactly in the way I had first considered it.  The food has certainly been changed.
