Why? Well, there are 144,000 edible fruits and vegetables on the planet of which FOURTY FOUR are cultivated and distributed on any kind of &#8220;grand&#8221; scale. WHY ARE WE BEING SO BORING ABOUT THE FOOD WE CHOOSE TO CULTIVATE TO GROW!!?.<\/p>\n<p>2) The two agricultural products produced in the greatest quantity on planet Earth currently, are:<\/p>\n<p>CORN<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>BANANNAS.<\/p>\n<p>It really ought to be RICE<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>Banannas.<\/p>\n<p>Why is It CORN?<\/p>\n<p>Because most of the corn that is grown for food is made into HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar.<\/p>\n<p>This product is jammed into MOST PROCESSED FOODS.<\/p>\n<p>In the quantities that it exists in our food, it is UNHEALTHY for us and we don&#8217;t want it in our food, and a large percentage of us are victimized because do not even know we do not wish to have it in our foods!! It is unhealthy and even toxic.<\/p>\n<p>Eliminate this from the food production chain and divert the corn production to ethanol production.<\/p>\n<p>3) We do not have to use corn for fuel production to make fuel, WHY?<\/p>\n<p>BECAUSE- if you make CELLULOSIC ethanol from the HEMP plant, also known as MARIJUANA, (the kind that does not get you high, though. More like the &#8220;leafy NO HIGH&#8221; version of pot) the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hemphasis.net\/Fuel-Energy\/fuel.htm\" target=\"_blank\">fuel to feed ratio<\/a> is 95% as compared to anything else you could use (ie. petroleum,corn,sugar,switchgrass, whatever&#8230;) which are all at about 45-64%. in the range of less than half.<\/p>\n<p>WTF people!!!<\/p>\n<p>TIME TO STEP UP TIME TO STEP UP!!!!<\/p>\n<p>CARPE&#8217; DIEM CARPE&#8217; DIEM CARPE&#8217; DIEM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The debate has recently surfaced about whether or not grow more corn for the production of ethanol for fuel to replace petroleum.
