About food preferences ---

One of the important roles of starch in the diet is that the customary starch of a person unavoidably classifies him into a class. Examples:

Long-grain rice -- aristocrats and former in place slaves
Sticky rice -- Japanese and Upland Thais
Corn meal -- poor Indios, hillbillies
Grits -- sand lappers, rednecks
White flour -- Northern Europeans
Durum wheat flour -- Italians and epastaparians.
Rye flour -- Eastern europeans
Oats -- horses (in England) and Scots

etc.

While grits is (are?) my favorite comestible, I almost uniformly find that I deplore the political opinions of people who prefer grits and like the politics of oats (especially the horsies). .
