thinkstoomuch - 11/27/2024 08:28  A load of distillers isn't human edible food



Why?

Because you won't eat it?   I doubt it will kill you and I bet you could survive eating it if you had to.

If its just because you won't eat it I kind of doubt you will eat unprocessed yellow corn either.

Would the distiller's grain pass an antibiotic test? I think that is the regulatory reason it isn't allowed because of the antibiotic to kill the fermenting bacteria (as last that I knew this was the process used) Unprepared yellow corn could use some grinding and processing to make masa (or what the Mexican technique is called) Doesn't take a lot of processing to make it edible. But argument is then "is corn the most food producing crop that can be grown?". As a corn farmer, that is a hard question to be told what you're doing may not be the best thing to do.



FDA/USDA regulations don't mean that you couldn't eat distillers and survive.     I'm not going to try but I highly doubt it would kill you.  


Of course raising corn isn't the most food producing thing we could raise on an acre.   But I don't want to survive on eating bugs and pinto beans while wearing out a pair of sandals for my transportation.   I want to eat meat (pork and beef) and put ethanol/gas in my vehicle so I don't have to walk everywhere.


If you want to go down the black hole of "sustainability" and being "earth friendly" the best thing would be for you to remove yourself so you don't cause anymore destruction to "mother earth".    I'll keep eating meat and burning ethanol/gas no matter what you choose.
