It’s true. Went all the way to their Supreme Court. Vegan lost.
You think you own the wind huh? I would barbecue day and night if some vegan got butthurt over it.
Picture thread, guys. Please.
Corn domesticated us but we kill it and eat it?
Something isn't adding up there.
This goofball line of thinking might have some merit IF you could prove the corn was somehow responsible for the change in cultivation. It was not, and had no ability to do so. Corn isn't like ophiocordyceps (Google that, I did).We don't kill it. We let it go through a full life cycle before harvesting. Corn plants die every year anyway. They are annuals.
The biological goal of plants and animals is reproductive success. Corn is now extremely successful once it got us to take over all the work. Sure we eat a portion of the seed. But since being enslaved to do all the major functional bidding for corn, we have expanded its population geometrically in terms of geography and numbers. It has gone from a small area in Central American thousands of years ago to being grown on every continent but Antarctica. Corn didn't migrate all those places on its own. It got us to do the footwork.
Once corn enslaved/domesticated humans, corn's population has skyrocketed. Its reproductive success is off the charts.

If anything, it's the money the farmer receives for tending to the crops that enslaved him. If corn futures drop, do you think that farmer is gonna be growing corn again next year?
