COMMODITY means"an article of commerce,especially when delivered for shipment". Also each nation "owns" their own products by selecting a certain breed of corn or cow and refining it to their tastes and making it their own ,for their own consumption then it belongs to that nation,by their efforts to choose it,preserve it,nurture it for themselves.miz RAND BLOWTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306476695686165653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-18047753927652670442008-05-18T19:14:00.000+03:002008-05-18T19:14:00.000+03:00These cow articles seem to imply that since cows a...These cow articles seem to imply that since cows aren't from Europe it's not really the Europeans's cows;but most food is viewed universally as a commidity and is used and exchanged freely.For instance,why not mention that bananas and potatoes,and chocolate don't come from Europe,and neither does corn and sunflowers/seeds,nor do dates and tuna fish,but that doesn't mean we don't use them.We figure,if it isn't hurting the natives,nor making us break out in warts,why not use food found on the land..?Oh,and cotton isn't from Europe neither.Also people don't marry other types of people to aquire other foods or goods-English didn't marry Native Indians to get corn-the Indians gave us some corn and we grew it-no need to marry foreign to get some goods.The Indians got whisky,guns,and horses from the white man,too. Further more the earth was all one place called Pangaea,and we all got off Noah's Ark in Asia Minor somewhere with many animals in tow,so it might have all been connected to one location years ago.Besides all animals and palnts aren't fit for food,even if they grow naturally on your land;I mean,why don't we eat roaches since we have plenty of those,but they are from Africa not Europe,anyway.Most food in Africa is not from Africa-many foods were brought there by Arab merchants or something-except coffee-but the Africans didn't use it until a Caucasian Priest discovered it.Now of course if you want to go back to livin' like a cave man.....to be authentic.miz RAND BLOWTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306476695686165653noreply@blogger.com
