[Peace-discuss] Progressive shock doctrine

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Corn being the main staple grain, what Bob says is true.
If not corn, then wheat, or rice or millet or grass or alfalfa or oats, 
etc.,
lots of other similar plant sources, but "corn is king" as they say,
and everything food and everything related to food is related to corn.
