Hmm, let's look at this logically.
The corn crop is a major staple in the food we eat. The cattle also eat grain.
The farmers rely on hay to feed their cattle which has also been hit hard by the drought.
Swine flu has taken a toll on the pig farmers.
Deer are also battling some kind of virus that is killing them.
West Nile has prompted ranchers to keep an eye on their horses.
fish have been killed in record numbers due to excessive heat.
Bean yields are down.
A few years back, we lost our bee population.
Bats who eat Mosquitos by the hundreds, have fallen to an unknown virus.
The united states exports to over 100 countries, food and meat; if we were to cut them off it would only cause a domino effect; meaning famine, birth of new diseases, and civil unrest.
Think it won't hurt us??? You'd be wise to think again.

Today, they could get involved with someone who's in complete contrast to their own personality or who everyone decides is wildly unsuitable as a prospective partner. The more anyone protests about this, the more determined this person will be to follow their heart. So keep quiet!
