Really excellent article Tan Man. I'd written a note in my journal a few times lately on the idea that the boomer generation had looted the whole world for their benefit, but did not begin to put it all together as well as you have here.
The problem of why this occurred I leave to better anthropologists/psychologists than me, but the fact that they ran an entire empire with reckless abandon for 40 years is hard to argue against and pretty shocking when you think about it
We got our first order of MASA chips the other - my husband loves them! I fortunately the day they arrived (you can’t make this up) I had been ordered by my naturopathic doctor to start a 30 day elimination diet which includes corn. (Omg I love corn so much! I will be SO mad if I have to give it up! Hahaha) So for now I’m taking his word for it - well done!
We just had a wonderful dinner with only 2 ingredients from a store: organic cilantro and organic avocados. I made slow cooked beef from a local farm, and fresh salsa with my own tomatoes and peppers, local purple cabbage, onions, and cukes. I love food and cooking and shopping local and we’re very lucky to be in an agricultural county.
Thanks for your hard work and commitment. As entrepreneurs ourselves (and I started a nonprofit in Uganda as a one woman shop almost 15 years ago and have run it from here with just annual trips! 😅) I know how much blood, sweat and tears goes into what looks east from the outside!
Thank you! Remember that not all ingredients are created equal. Pesticide conventional corn is not the same as organic nixtamalized corn, etc.
