Corn is a grain. When it produces its "crop" it is very
unhealthy for cows and people. Why do we put cows
in a feed lot - to make them fat. What do we feed in
feed lots - corn and other grains. If grains make cows
fat, then what do they do to people - make them fat.
Grains are one of the leading causes of obesity in the
world today.
Another problem is that 50 % of corn is genetically
engineered. This process is not to make a healthy
product but to make a monoply for seed manufacture
to make millions of dollars all over the world. These
crops are also designed to use vast amounts of
Herbicides and Pesticides. Is it any wonder that the
seed companies also produce these organophosphates -
herbicides and pesticides. These companies are out
to make maney at any cost and to stick it the public.
It doen't take a rocket scientist to determine why we
have breast cancer and prostrate cancer.
If corn is grazed by cows before it produces grain it
is a good forage and may be considered a grass, but
be sure it is not a genetic engineered seed before you
start.
