Went into grocery store today for corn meal

I think as soon as you label it human food it is 2x the cost. Then put it in a grocery store for humans and it is 2x the 2x cost for a 4x the cost. Package it in small bags and you'll have a 5x the cost. Put it in a speciality store, and it will be 10x the cost. Such as 4.99 for a 20 ounce bag of ground corn.

Indeed. Corn that is sold for human consumption is higher in price than feed corn all the time. It isn't usually the same corn, the stuff sold for animal feed is not considered safe for human consumption...I've bought bags of feed corn that have a warning label saying not safe for people to eat because it can make them sick. The GMO corn that is deemed unfit for human consumption is still grown for animal feed. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

The company I buy my organic livestock mineral supplement for also packages the same mineral salt for human consumption. I pay $10 for a 50 pound bag packaged for animals...the 8 ounce container packaged for humans of the SAME product is the same price...so we buy the 50 pound bag and share it with the goats.

Hate to break it to you. The corn meal you buy is made of the same corn that goes in animal feed. It's just run through screens to clean up the flour and the germ is taken out. The germ is hwere the essential oils are at that will spoil after ground.

The Amish store in my town sells corn meal for .26 cents a #, I got a bag just over 5# for $1.35..I love that store!
