Eating Against the Grain, Part 3

Short time of availability.

Ina natural setting wheat is only available for harvest about two weeks out of the year.  This means even if you wanted to eat the stuff it you would only have the chance to eat it maybe one month out of the year.  The only reason we can now eat wheat and other grains year round is because we have developed a massive infrastructure to store and transport the grains.  So living year round on a food source that at best our bodies should only be naturally exposed to for a single month at a time is probably not a good idea.  Nature has lots of cycles to it, most of them track the sun and the rest track the moon.  The seasons due to the tilt of the the Earth's axis determine the cyclic variation in temperature, sunlight, and rainfall an ecosystem experiences.  Everything in that ecosystem lives to this same "beat."  This is how plants know when to sprout, when to flower, and then the bees know to go out and pollinate. By harvesting grains all across the country, from multiple strains and types, storing and transporting them all around we interrupt the "beat" of nature.  Our bodies are simply not designed to handle year in and year consumption of wheat even it if were a natural food source.  This applies to vegetables and more so to fruits but we don't try to make biscuits, and cookies, and chips and snacks out of them.  We litterlly drown our bodies in wheat, corn, rice, and other grains that is completely anomalous to our body.  No wonder we get sick with cancer like nothing else does that still lives in harmony to the "beat" of nature.
