The Omnivore's Dilemma

Here's a compilation of all the things I have ranted about:

CORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Everyone who eats food eats corn so everyone is corny. (lol) I went to see a movie the other day and I was struggling to choose between corn bears, corns, starcorn, nerdcorn, whoppercorn, junior corns, and sour corns. Then I went to a Sounders game the other night and I was sure not going to get battery acid. Finally did you know the meat we eat has plenty of corn stuffed inside because that's all the animals get to eat, except cows, they become slightly cannibalistic because idiots take the fat of cows and mash it into the corn, well at least they have moved on from being forced to eat other cow brains, right? Well anyway I'm going to only eat grass fed meat from now on so I hope it works out. In fact just to prove it to you, go to a grocery store and look at as many items as you want and check for these ingredients: modified starch, unmodified starch, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, ascorbic acid, crystallline fructose, lactic acid, MSG, caramel color, and xanthan gum. These are all just extra names for corn, and then obviously any product that has "corn" in the name is, duh, Corn. Anyway check my next post for my talk on non-grass fed meat.
 
How would you feel if every day you woke up after sleeping in a pile of manure and then you went to the trough and ate corn then went to sleep anywhere and end up sleeping in manure. I have one word for you FEEDLOTS!

Most cows you eat are fattened up in these boring places and there is so much manure that it's probably part of the wall now. These places rarely get cleaned and the cows only get to eat corn. I like to call it cruel, unusual, and undeserved punishment.Oh and yes the awesomeness of CORN it's also indirectly in cheese, milk, and even ice cream. It's a simple process = cow eats corn, has babies, milk cow this happens because the milk comes from the food they eat so therefore there is corn in your dairy products. Ice cream uses milk so it has corn etc. Don't you love GMOs I can't wait for the corn catastrophe to happen, I mean from all the genetic modifications we have made for corn they will eventually begin to think and take over the world. After all it is everywhere Washington, Bulgaria, Singapore, Chile, even small countries like Lesotho and Luxembourg. Then we would have to unite the free non-GMO noms and rebel against the almighty Lord Corn! And if we so should succeed in this quest the corn will be eternally banished; tied down with immovable never rusting chain on an island that is sinking ever so slowly so that the corn may feel fear!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yay, time for another food rant about, you guessed it, eggs. Do you know how we get many of our eggs?Well we get them from industrial Egg Farms unless you buy them from local farms or if you know they're free range. Six hens are trapped in a cage that can fit about one page of newspaper. They try to kill each other to get food. Yes, chickens become carnivores during their incredibly brief lives in egg farms. They try to push through the wire doors but only end up featherless and bleeding. Ten percent die in their cages! If the egg production slows down they are "force-molted" by starving them, or depriving them of light for days, so that they may lay a final egg before they die. No wonder journalists are not welcome.
