A New Wave of Grain
26th November 2018
Boulder County growers, chefs and bakers are bringing back ancient wheat grains.
One of the biggest incongruities of the so-called ‘progressive’ movement is the number of areas in which they denounce actual progress and strive to turn back the clock, and the most obvious of these is with respect to food. We now have food crops that can beat most of the diseases and pests that have troubled farmers across the centuries, and we even have genetically-modified strains (like ‘golden rice’) that can compensate for food deficiencies in the diets of the poor — and yet ‘progressives’ want to go back to where we were a hundred years (or more) ago.
Perhaps be ought to be calling them ‘regressives’ instead.
