To me, produce includes stuff like rice, beans, corn and potatoes. Produce is just "food grown on a farm." At least that is what I was referring too.

Ahh. Usually when I hear people complaining about the price of fresh produce its things like bell peppers, broccoli, radishes, apples and oranges, etc. Bags of beans, rice, flour, etc...usually in a totally different place in the store, even, and to most people buying that stuff seems to be an alien concept. Can't tell you how many times I've cooked at friends' places and they didn't didn't even have rice. Nor flour. Nor eggs. I'm actually the only person I know who buys dry beans.

Anyway, I eat rice and beans as a cheap and healthy source of protein and fiber. Hot sauce makes it flavorful without adding any calories.

I cook it in bulk to make like 10 servings: 2 cups of rice and 4 cans of beans. The cost is about 5 dollars. And if I bought the beans dry and prepared them myself rather getting the canned version it would be even cheaper.

How long has corn been the major source of economy in North America?

Are we controlling the corn, or is it controlling us?
