@futurebird @u0421793 @JeanieBurrell I've been saying for a long time that humans have been domesticated by wheat.
"Domestication", after all, means to be put into a house - and is it wheat or humans that ended up living in houses after the agricultural revolution? Was it humans or wheat that had to do all the backbreaking work? Was it humans or wheat that had to give up the most of their natural wild behaviour and lifestyle?
Our paleolithic ancestors would shake their heads in dismay.

@futurebird @u0421793 @JeanieBurrell We've even fought wars on behalf of our wheat overlords. How many wars have been fought over who got to put "their" wheat fields where?

@datarama @futurebird @u0421793 That would be the conversion of food security to power. And now we're back to warring over resources like attines.

@JeanieBurrell @datarama @futurebird @u0421793 And now consider Quorn, the fungus-derived fake meat protein substitute that is being sold in many places in the world. All from a particular fungus found in soil at a specific location, extracted, now cultivated in bioreactors. The company is now part of a large conglomerate of course.
