Why do you hate to inform me. I don't mind. I like being informed.
It's not like being informed is a disease. And like you, not much I'm
allergic to. The skin of a cucumber is all I can think of, and it's
been so long, may not be sensitive any longer.

Who/what the heck is Monsanto?

My turn to inform you:

The World According to Monsanto | Watch Free Documentary Online

Perhaps one of the most shocking documentaries on food ever made.
Although this film is French, other US made documentaries have
substantiated and reinforced what it is saying about our food supply.

Like the fact that corn fed beef of bad mojo. Cattle do not eat corn.
They didn't evolve to eat corn and it screws 'em up and makes them
sick and we gotta keep 'em doped up on chemicals and antibiotics so
they can survive that diet which, while it makes for tender meat, damn
near kills the poor steer.

Maybe you need to move further away from the left coast

And live in the 2/3rds of the country that swelters like a sauna?
Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with our highs of 86F and humidity
below 50%, with short cooling showers in the afternoon. I lived in TN
for 2 yrs, remember. You can have everything East of Denver all to
yourelf, with my blessing.

True! When I first saw this documentary, that was my first question. I live within 300 yards of both dairy cows and beef steers. I move both by offering them corn to move into the trailer. They love the stuff. They also live very healthy in WI. They also graze on wild grasses and eat alfalfa in the winter. Just like most mammals, they need a balance. Corn is a healthy part of that balance. Anyone who has done farm work can tell you cows like corn.

Saying it's not natural is like saying it goes against nature to plant potatoes and tomatos anywhere but in the Americas.

Mansanto might scare folks. They do me. That's why I like less GM stuff for my diet. Still, that's just my choice and there is no data to back the ill effects of eating the stuff.

Water is wet-fact. Global warming exists-still opinion. Something sure appears to be going on, though. Is it man-made or of nature? THAT is the question.

I notice that some of my allergic reactions change as I age. Just like some of my tastes. No reason to freak out, man.
