re: #259 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

because a lot of modern agriculture does not have to do with producing food for direct human consumption, it is about providing raw materials for an industrial process. Cotton and corn for ethanol are the most obvious examples, but also growing corn to be processed into liquid corn sugar syrup, something with no nutrient value at all beyond the calories it contains.

Doesn’t a lot of corn get turned into cattle feed?
