WOW! Just how dense can an individual be???????????? Corn is not a grain!!!!!!!! Sheesh!!! No wonder you fall for all the nonsense you've read!!
So is corn a grain or not
And as I asked in post #19 is corn a natural feed for cattle?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you - so why bother.
At the very least, you could look up the definition of "grain" on your own. How hard is that?
Because I asked the question and you come up with an excuse why not to answer, I don't care what you think I believe just answer the question
I did look it up, and as I said corn is considered a crop or veg
And I suppose you don't even realize that the word "crop" includes grains? That's pretty sad!
OK, lazy, look at this :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize
Fine but this the third time I've asked from post#19
Is corn a natural feed for cattle?
Hopefully, you're sharp enough to realize that "natural food" for anything is rather ambiguous.
But in this particular case it's clear: Wild varieties of corn/maze grow many places in the world, primarily Central and South America. Whenever cattle, sheep, goats and other grazing animals find it they will readily eat (and enjoy) it.
And they'd been doing so for LONG before your "needed" antibiotics were ever thought of!
And I'm betting that you still don't believe that grass seed is a grain - ESPECIALLY since you didn't even know CORN was a grain!!!
Not really, natural is what they normally feed on
Yet we know that cattle can't break down starch or corn properly
This is irrelevant to the thread, but in passing: there are no wild varieties of maize. It's closest relative and presumed original breed stock, teosinte, is found in Mexico and nearby, where there were until the mid 1500s no domesticated grazing animals.But in this particular case it's clear: Wild varieties of corn/maze grow many places in the world, primarily Central and South America.

On the off chance that you aren't Foxing, against my better judgment:Could someone please explain the difference in impact on the consumer of GMO vs old school hybridization? I'm not sure I understand the distinction...
As no one here seems to have noted it, I was curious what the community thought about the FDA's declaring genetically modified salmon to be safe for the environment and consumers, bringing it one (perhaps two) steps cloaser to store shelves in the U.S.
It seems to me like the system works. The evidence for the safety of this fish was very strong, and the FDA simply followed the science.
it's in between for me. I do think that they should be labeled like most everything else but most of the research I've seen points to there's basically nothing harmful about them, although I can see this spiralling out of control. one thing I don't like is companies owning all of the rights to a type of food.
The FDA has no relevant ecological expertise, and the ecological safety of such an organism cannot be demonstrated on time scale that short anyway. So that part of the reassurance is obviously more or less bogus.It seems to me like the system works. The evidence for the safety of this fish was very strong, and the FDA simply followed the science.
More than 90% of the US soybean crop, and well over half the world crop, is planted in fewer than 20 cultivars (Maybe a half dozen of them realistically genetically distinct to begin with, then essentially all of them fitted with very similar GM code) from essentially two corporations: Monsanto and Pioneer.one thing I don't like is companies owning all of the rights to a type of food.
You need not be concerned about that last statement because no one does. Rice, for example, which is the THE widest-grown grain in the world has over 40,000 varieties. And though the numbers aren't as large, it's much the same for other grains as well.
