My friends and I would climb to the top of the silos and chuck watermelons and cantaloupes over the edge. Usually this was at night, so we couldn't actually see the impact, but we could hear a big splat followed by many little splats as the watermelon chunks would ricochet off the corrugated silo walls.

Whenever I had to drive to another city, I'd put on some 70s classic rock and crank the volume up extra loud to keep me awake. Two major rail lines crisscrossed through town: one heading south from Chicago and the other coming from Kansas City in the west. Trains on both tracks hauled huge black tank cars filled with corn oil and soybean oil. If there's anything worse for your health than refined grains, it's refined vegetable oil.

School started and it's time to sell all the processed grain products. This morning on the news, a nutritionist was once again preaching the health benefits of whole grains.
