RE: How to get old without aging

Although plants tend to fade into the background, akin to some decorative wallpaper, their influence on human and animal adaptation has been vast. It may be that the plants want to hide their nefarious and insidious power over their animal slaves that they remain silent and immovable. The yellow corn, for instance, has enslaved humanity for the past hundred years with her preference for petrol-based fertilizer inciting her human slaves to constantly seek new sources of the black bile. Some studies suggest that fully 25% of all carbon in human DNA derive from yellow corn, which suggests that humans are mere appendages to the hive-mind of the nefarious yellow corn.

Yellow corn also is used as feed for all farmed animals, which increases the "demand" for yellow corn cultivation, resulting in more arable and fertile land (a limited resource) to be dedicated to corn planting. Humans can not consume yellow corn without extensive chemical processing, and all of the animals cannot digest the yellow corn feed, dying at early age, while becoming fat, due to stress-induced obesity from cortisol release. Even with all this information, man continues to dedicate vast arable land-mass to his lord and master: yellow corn.

Though man imagines himself as the pinnacle of creation, it seems that he is nothing but a slave, toiling for the benefit of his overlords in the plant kingdom. It may be that not the meteor, but the dissatisfaction of the plant overlords off'ed our dinosaur forebears with their massive appetite for plant food-source. Insidiously, the plant masters changed their composition to be unsuitable for ingestion by the big, lumbering dinosaur servants, causing their extinction and replacing these inefficient slaves for smaller, shorter-lived mammals and avians.

Indeed plants had such a big influence on how the human race evolved, and on the other hand our farming activities also exerted evolutionary pressure on which plants became more diffused. I agree also when you mention that we don't always harvest the most nutritious plants but farmers are not dumb, as everyone they respond to incentives, in this case governments give many incentives for certain crops, this decreases the prices of food that reaches our tables but on the other hand we are incentivizing farmers to decrease the diversity of their crops, there is much to say about this topic
