Cake usually contains flour, which is made from wheat, which is a form of grass...

No, wheat is made from the seeds, i.e., the grain, of wheatgrass, not the grass. That some bacteria are able to eat the cellulose or other cells in grass is absolutely unrelated to their ability to consume the completely different structures and nutrients in a seed.

  sugar is a grass, or corn syrup, which is from a grass... edit: also opiate and opioid are different, i'm talking about the brain chemical, not the drug.

    Once you're refining specifically sugarcane down to just sugar, "stuff in grasses" is a really confusing way to describe it. And it's not even right with corn, where the starch has to be chemically altered first.

    If you're going to say something silly like sugar is a grass it's clear you don't know what you're talking about and I'm going to leave this conversation. Most sugar in the U.S. is made from beets, which are not a grass. Also...dark chocolate, soy, spinach, fruit, meat, and coffee are opiate triggers, so if sugar is bad because it triggers an opiate response, so is most of the human diet. It turns out the bodies response to eating...is to trigger an opiate response.

      >Sugar cane production Sugar cane is a grass native to Asia and grows mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. In terms of the U.S. sugar cane production by state, it is mainly concentrated in the federal states of Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Hawaii. In 2021, Florida produced around 17.3 million tons of sugar cane and was expected to produce nearly the same quantity the following year. During this period, Florida accounted for more than half of the country’s total sugar cane production. Some nine hundred thousand acres of sugar cane are harvested yearly in the United States, generating over one billion U.S. dollars in annual revenues. > Since the mid-2000s, sugarcane has accounted for between 40 and 45 percent of the total sugar produced domestically, and sugarbeets accounted for between 55 and 60 percent of production. Sugar cane is a grass, and when i make a cake i use wheat flour and cane sugar. I also know about sugar beets, but i specifically said "grasses". Saying that corn and sugar and wheat aren't grasses is hilarious. It doesn't matter what part we eat, as it's the gut flora that process it into the opioids, and they can't tell grass from the thing grass comes from. Fukudome S.-I., Yoshikawa M.
