Zone 8b between Houston and San Antonio FacebookBlogImagesEvery acre of corn grown requires at least 50 gallons of oil and a lot of acres are planted every year. The average processed food item travels 1,500 miles before it is consumed. More than 1/2 of all the synthetic nitrogen made is applied to corn. Synthetic nitrogen is derived from natural gas. Hybrid corn is “designed” to convert nitrogen to food at greater speed. The cow does not naturally eat corn. They eat grass. Feed corn has to be smashed, treated, and combined with other things before a cow will eat it and even then if the cow isn't fed antibiotics it will get sick and die. |
