You've heard Doug talk about how contaminated wheat, corn, and other cereal grains are. HERE (Click on the BLUE TEXT to link to the Article) is some third party validation (as if all the Doug-Heads needed it!). This cereal rust, or mold, is wiping out wheat crops in Africa, and is expected to spread.
The horrible part is that many third world countries are heavily dependent upon cereal grains as staples in their diets. We Americans, for the most part, have a choice about whether to include grains in our diet or not. But perhaps this article will increase the public's concern about the contamination of grain supplies everywhere. And maybe we should start using some of that fertile land in the midwest to grow organic fruits and vegetables and raise grass-fed meat instead of rows upon rows of monoculture grain and and corn farms.
