The great wheat crisis

When they say it, most of us pretty easily write them off as a bunch of nut-jobs.
 
But it cannot be denied that, in the space of less than a century, the wheat industry took something that had been synonymous with “nourishment” throughout man’s entire existence and turned it into a commercial, rather than a nutritional, hero. Even more sinister is the fact that farmers have been incentivized to grow something that may be killing people.
