    The staple foods we’ve chosen to cultivate are all energy dense. Overheard a client talking to another guy he hadn’t seen in years, “Yeah, got diabetes. Can’t eat any white foods. :(”

    That really got me thinking. Rice, potatoes, wheat and corn. The core desirability is energy.

    Add something like beans to fix nitrogen and add missing nutrients, you’re all set.
