> Today on the LA Times Non-fiction Bestsellers list (#15): The Omnivore's Dilemma by Miahage Pollan. A revealing look at the food we eat, the agribusiness that produces it, and the corn that is now in nearly everything edible.

Are you suggesting (gasp!) plagiarism?

I think I will write a book called "How to Plagerize Famous Authors for Fun and Profit." I think I can copy most of it from the internet.

Or are you worried about too much corn in our diet? Corn is not good for diabetics, so I try to avoid it. That's not easy, considering that corn, or products made from corn, are in almost everything. Corn products are more widely used than even peanuts. Come to think of it, there are people who have to avoid peanuts too.

Agribusiness involves more than just farmers. I suppose it includes dairy business such as people who make cheese and icecream, but there is also a lot of agri-research going on in labs around the country.

Then there are the commodities traders, people who make lots of money buying and selling farm products that they never see. One of the joys of raising a garden is cutting out all the middlemen.

So where have you heard it before?
