Now let us praise maize!

We call it maize !!!!

Chips and salsa is mana from heaven.

No other grain has so many amino acids, and near complete food value. Combign with a legume, and you've got complete protein.Continous corn actually builds the soil, if just the grain is removed from the plot.Open pollinated corn can have 12% protein, and a host of amino acids, not so for hybrid corn, which is now a shell of it's former self, open pollinated corn.I raise poultry and hogs on a 75% ground alfalfa 25% ground op corn, plus kelp meal.The meat is of much higher quality, and much leaner than commercial meats because of the higher protein to carbohydrate ratio of the op corn.In colonial times, adventurers, trappers, always had a sack of corn meal with them incase they couldn't hunt anything to eat. When their canoes would tip, they would take a day out to dry their gun powder, and corn meal.It is an abomination that all the original parent lines in mexico have been contaminated with GE corn pollen blown in from plots not far enough away.This is a world catostrophy, as we do not have clean lines of corn to combat diseases such as the eastern corn blight, which almost wiped out corn production in the late early 70's. Maise is trully great.
