Whistleblowers wanted

So something happened to wheat in the 1970s during the efforts to generate a high-yield strain that required less fertilizer to make a 24-inch, rather than a 48-inch, stalk. Multiple other changes occurred, including changes in the structure of gluten, changes in wheat germ agglutinin, changes in alpha amylase (responsible for wheat allergy) . . . to name a few.

But chief among the changes in wheat were changes in the gliadin protein molecule. We know, for instance, that the Glia-alpha 9 sequence, absent from traditional wheat, can be found in virtually all modern wheat. This is likely the explanation underlying the four-fold increase in celiac disease over the past 50 years, since Glia-alpha 9 predictably triggers the immune reaction that leads to the intestinal destruction characteristic of celiac disease.

But modern wheat also stimulates appetite . . . not a little, but a lot. The introduction of modern high-yield, semi-dwarf wheat was accompanied by an abrupt increase in calorie consumption of 440 calories per day, 365 days per year. This is because modern gliadin in wheat is an opiate. But this opiate doesn’t cause a “high” like heroine; it causes appetite stimulation.

Yeah, I saw her at Menard's/Lowe's/Sam's/Home Depot/Walmart the other day in one of those electric scooter/shopping carts.

I didn't realize those things were rated for that sort of tonnage.

A way to avoid the modern hybridized wheat is to switch to Spelt and/or Kamut. Both are ancient non-hybridized varieties and people who have trouble with "modern" "Wheat" can often eat them without a problem.

Also there is a growing proliferation of non-gluten flours. Rice, Amaranth, Quinoa, etc., .... These are all great for things that do not require gluten. Unfortunately Bread, or any other raised good such as Cinnamon Rolls, need a gluten flour in order to raise. Amaranth is a powerhouse of nutrition.

I only have two questions:

1) Did walmart get their scooter back?

2) Was emergency rescue equipment required?

3) Was there a giant sucking sound?

4) Was there a subsequent run on axle grease?
