GP ^ | August 25, 2019 | by Jim Hoft

President Donald Trump is attending the G7 Summit in Biarritz, France this weekend.

The liberal mainstream media was pretty certain this would be a complete disaster and that the countries were at odds. This is what they reported for several days before the summit began.

Then President Trump dropped this wonderful news on Sunday.

That’s the way I feel about okra.

So you’re saying people with a healthier pancreas, for whatever reason, are less prone to getting diabetes.

I was strong and did box into my mid 20s and hit the big on and off for years after.

Maybe you’re more prone to diabetes if your pancreas has been taking a beating since a young age?

I dunno. Just throwing it out there :)

Anyway, God was KIND, to say the least, in sparing me.

I will not test him again.

If you eat any grain whatsoever, make vertical slits in your wrist and enter a hot-water bathtub.

The results will be the same, but the latter will be quicker.


The same can be said if you DON'T eat any grains whatsoever.

Italians are serious about food, too, and they have no problems making polenta.

In Italy they use corn to feed the pigs. Humans don't eat corn there.

I didn't know that when I hosted a dinner for some people from Italy. They were insulted when we served corn.

Also, a curtailing of sugar in the diet is highly recommended.

Wife was hungry last night. Whipped up some polenta. Yum.

Hey It’s basically grits. (But I’ve never had grits)

And a giant eff you to China.

I have no doubt that the foundation was laid during the president’s big Asia tour in 2017.

He has been cultivating good relations with Japan ever since. Along with Taiwan, Vietnam, and Sourh Korea.

In Italy they use corn to feed the pigs. Humans don't eat corn there.

We use corn to feed pigs, fuel our cars, and do other things, too. Polenta is an ITALIAN dish made from CORN meal.

A Frenchman or an Italian being insulted from serving well-prepared corn is akin to an American being served snails in France (or anywhere else). Someone should tell these snobs that there are different kinds of corns for different kinds of uses, and that they should get out some more.

Polenta is a dish of boiled cornmeal that was historically made from other grains. It may be served as a hot porridge, or it may be allowed to cool and solidify into a loaf that can be baked, fried, or grilled.Wikipedia Type:Porridge Place of origin:Northern Italy and Central Italy Main ingredients:Yellow or white cornmeal, liquid (water, soup stock)

My A1C went from 6.8 to 6.5 on diet modification. I started exercising and it dropped to 5.3 in three months. Exercise is key IMO.

Everything here is fried. Fried okra, fried ‘taters’, fried chicken...everything! My husband loves sweet corn and makes me plant a garden full every summer. I spend days in the kitchen canning and freezing. By the next crop I still have 2/3 of it left since I don’t eat it. Out it goes to feed the deer before the new crop gets put up.

I was raised in S. Florida on seafood and all of that fried stuff wasn’t on my menu.

BTW, he has Type II diabetes and high sugar. Go figure.

I believe corn on the cob is frowned upon though out Italy.

Polenta, at least in Northern Italy and at least in the country side is considered okay.

As you know, corn on the cob is best eaten fresh. Farmers are known to eat it raw off the stalk, and corn boils are often held right at the corn field itself, as the starches break down as soon as the corn is picked. My Canadian wife didn't realize how good corn on the cob was until she lived stateside, as the overpriced stuff in northern Alberta was not very good. So, the corn on the cob in Italy is probably not as good as what you would get in North America. Even the 17th century polenta made with corn used imported corn meal, but cord has been part of polenta for 400 years.

"They explained, through the son, that corn is what LIVESTOCK ate. You NEVER serve it to a human."

Makes sense, since Europe was only (relatively) recently introduced to corn so they don't have a long history with it.

For consistency sake, did they say you NEVER serve cereal grains to a human? Cause that's what they primarily feed their cattle in central and southern Europe. [1]. You know, the same grains they use to make BAGUETES.

To each their own I guess.

My 93 year old Mother in Law has eaten 4 ears of corn a day every summer forever.

What is going wrong!?
