[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 74440252, member: 123415"] On the topic of human nutrition, a rancher's position is of little value (unless they're particularly well education on the topic of diet and human biology). [URL='https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/grass-fed-vs-grain-fed-beef#section2']Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Beef — What’s the Difference?[/URL] Oh I have no doubts that ranchers want a way to fatten them up as quick & cheap as possible, that doesn't mean they're producing an optimal product for human consumption. Demand from corporate entities is high (for usage for things like ethanol & livestock feed as well as companies that use it as raw materials for making sweeteners). Demand from consumers who want to consume corn in the form of natural corn is actually quite low. If you look at one of my previous posts, there are links that explain that use 50% of our nation's available farmland for corn & soy, however, consumption of those two things (directly, meaning, in their actual plain food form, not indirect consumption via processed foods and sweeteners) is only around 10% of the yield. A substantial portion of it is used for ethanol, and another large portion is used for making sweeteners for processed foods.
