    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot “food we eat”?

    Field corn and soybeans are STRICTLY for animal (specifically cow, pig sheep and chicken) consumption. Food we eat is from California.

      yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s some agriculture going on in California, which produces 50% of the nation’s produce. Florida too (“landowning families” isn’t a use?). Also we eat corn from the central Midwest, and lots of wheat from Dakotas and Minnesota.

        Don’t forget pumpkin! The Midwest produces much of the world’s pumpkin, I think Illinois alone makes about 85%, but I may be wrong on that figure.
