There is no way I could have predicted each successive clause of this.

Unlike photoshopped watermelons and other such fruits, maize comes in every funky color you can imagine in real life!

So do carrots and potatoes! I don't know why we use the most boring version of every food

I do! It's because cultivars of foods that are sold in grocery stores are specialized to have a long shelf life and resist bruising and pests and stuff, which means we don't have all the yummy variety. :(

Why didn't they try that with all of them once they knew how with one?

Selective breeding takes a long time. If you hybridize a Sturdy, Easy to Grow, Pest Resistant Corn and a Purple Corn, you might not get a corn that's Sturdy, Easy to Grow, Pest Resistant, and Purple. It's not like Sturdy is even one gene. You'd have to slowly breed the Purple into the Sturdy Corn.

And by then it wouldn't even be Purple Corn anymore, it would be a purple color variant that tastes and otherwise is much like the generic Sturdy Corn For Walmart.

Monocultures and obsession with maximum profit and productivity kill the variety...

I'm looking it up and you can buy rare varieties of seeds and plants in a variety of places, such as here

Some of these are specialized for popcorn, some for corn meal, they all have different purposes. Maize is really remarkable.

Definitely something to look into, since a lot of garden seeds you buy in your home and garden store don't allow you to save seeds and grow them again.

Realseeds in the UK is a great heirloom seed company, who regularly undermine their own business model by begging you to save your own seeds rather than buying from them, which I love. In addition to selecting American strains for the UK climate, leading to the Glass Gem I won’t stop boring you about…

They also authored my favourite listing for bean seeds in the world:

y'all, i am begging you to do your research on heirloom seed companies, especially US based ones because they are hotbeds of settler white supremacy. rareseeds is actually baker creek seeds and they not only supported cliven bundy when he and his gang occupied malheur reserve in oregon 5 years ago and continued to give him speaking opportunities as recently as 2019, they carry his seed stock in their store. if you want some of the asian varieties they carry, kitazawa seed is a much better choice. alliance of native seed keepers will probably carry most if not all of the tomatoes, corn, peppers, potatoes and other native american veggies that baker creek does and for half the price. hudson valley seed co is doing great preservation work that you can be a part of by growing their varieties. this is a list with 5 black-owned seed companies to support. do not give baker creek your money dollars!!

Anti war activist Harvey Milk. That Harvey Milk. Cool cool cool cool cool

Fun fact. Harvey milk was dishonorably discharged from the military for being gay. Years after his death, the military sought to make amends and change the status of his discharge, however, Harvey Milk’s family refused. They preferred that Harvey’s dishonorable discharge stay on record indefinitely so no one would forget the military’s history of discrimination.
