But really, what the fuck, Iowa?

I'm not in Iowa but I can smell it from here.

Why, your mom live in Iowa?

No. I've lived there though. The hype is real.

When you only grow stupid barely edible shit like corn and soybeans, the next logical step is to build a shed and feed a thousand pigs the corn and soy.

How is corn and soy barely edible. Soy is a complete protein

I was exaggerating, but the majority of corn and soy grown go into non human consumption or highly processed human food. 70% of American soybeans are used for animal feed. Mostly chickens in America and most of the exported soybeans are fed to pigs in China. 5% is biofuel. That's 75% of the crop not being for human consumption. And of the 25% left who is used for human food, 80% is used to make cooking oil.
It's a similar story for corn. 45% is used to make ethanol even though without government mandating it be added to petrol, no one would. Then 40% is fed to animals. That's 85% of corn that was grown not for human consumption.
