WHY DOESN'T TPT SHOW "THE FALL OF MINNEAPOLIS"?? YA KNOW WHEN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS LET 180 BUILDINGS GET LOOTED AND BURNED, WITH 1500 OTHER BUILDINGS DAMAGED???

Excellent, Worked in Springfield Illinois for Yrs Until the Mill Closed some 15 20yrs now maybe ..Not to many people Looking for a" Stream tender " 👊...Have a Good Week !..

If that were true then what are all the other ingredients on the label...ur forgetting preservatives, coloring etc

Pillsbury was the LAST to eliminate transfats which is believed to cause more heart attacks.

*learned. There, now you learned even more.

It is shown in almost every school district in Minnesota

Cotswolds in uk twins with places in France a lot!!

@@adamfrbs9259 Maybe Felipe is British...if so, learnt is correct ;-)

@civlyzed British guy named Felipe? Lol. That's like a white American named T'Shawn.

Growth does not ensure destruction...when it is done sustainably.very simple

Dust of any kind can explode if the particles are fine enough and mixed with the right concentration of air (oxygen).

Almost any kind of dust is explosive. The first diesel engines ran on coal dust

The Robinhood flour mill exploded in Davenport Iowa in the early 70s.

@@coleheister7390 wow!

My father-in-law during WWII flew near a ship carrying flour on 🔥 after an explosion.

im just wondering why on earth they are getting rid of so much food farming we all need it is our history and always will be need it for the next generations wheat started banking/money

PBS has some great documentaries but, a lot of their stories lean so far peft. They may as well be a paid advertiser for the Democrat Party.

When they're not in the propaganda business

Especially my PBS in Boston

Really glad my tax dollar helps liberals listen to one sided reporting.

What do you mean Dope PBS?

@postscript123 is correct. What to know why? Use your favorite search engine to look for "NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS ORGANIC FRESHLY STONE-GROUND SOURDOUGH CONVENTIONAL BREADS Campbell Hauser". Read it all. You will be surprised. There is also an excellent book by Sue Baker explaining it all.

I don’t understand your comment. Affordable food is bad? Personally, I shop at Walmart as believe it or not. It’s the nicest grocery store that I have in my area. I buy plenty of fruits and vegetables. It is true. I do not buy meat there, because I don’t like their quality. But honestly, there’s nothing wrong with affordable food. It’s a matter of bad choices and bad government advice, telling people to eat carbohydrates over anything else.

A documentary shouldn't be agenda driven. It should be educational.

​@@hairstoyou7248That is your opinion. That is why there are different types of documentaries as this kind gentleman pointed out. Don't try pushing your opinion on others as fact.

I know it's unbelievable but Kellogg created corn flakes as a way to stop masterbation. About a decade ago his descendant a female running the company wanted to make a healthier cereal by removing some of the toxic ingredients, GMOs, preservatives, etc. many that are not in the European Kelloggs cereals. The shareholders raged with anger. " Why mess with a good thing?" ($$$$$$)

Using the water to power massive ELECTRIC machines and a STEEL mill (AND separating the germ and bran!) was not old technology, though. In comparison to the thousands of years that people have been milling flour, the new technology is still new, in fact. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, bro, 12th century wheat would have rotted before it made across the pond. The world's breadbasket really was built in Minnesota.

I noticed same thing. Perhaps what they intended to convey, was that milling was new to that part of the world.

@@NotTheEx At around the 5 minute mark they are not talking about ELECTRIC machines and a STEEL mill. They are talking about a water wheel driven - flour mill. And since the first commercial well documented water wheel - flour mill complex in france is from the the beginning of the 2nd century until about the end of the 3rd century. With an estimated capacity of almost 10 000 pounds per day. Not trying to take the achievements away from Minnesota, but claiming to be the cradled of water wheel driven flour mill when all that was done was to upsize and improve an invention (with the current manufacturing technology) that has been used in commercial setting for at least 1400 years is just not a small error. around 11:30 in the video at least they acknowledge adapting european technology separating the flour to different fractions. (Thanks Italy and france) I guess the focus of the video is on telling the impact Minnesota had on the rest of the world (rest of USA), and it just gets a bit to iffy for the 95% of the world not living in USA. And wheat has an annual growth, and since Europe and middle east have been eating bread daily for a couple of thousand years at least. The technology to preserve it for at least one year had been around way before even the vikings visited Vinland for the first time. And as for wheat production the last 30+ years USA produces around 10% of the wheat of the world (USA and Non US countries included). And even in the 1860 it was around 20%. Claiming to be the world's basket of anything when you have 10-20% production share is also a bit over the top, if facts and things like that counts. In one of my family's properties we have documents from 1789 detailing their rights of use of the local water grain mill, and what fees they have to pay. Not a large scale commercial mill where the owners profited from from the farmers, it was more like a co-op, but still commercial in the sense that the milled flour not needed by the farm was sold together with other farms surplus to areas where grain farming was not possible.

I learned more about history from PBS and Ken Burns than any teacher or text book 😊

i love Americans 🚬🤠 they are the greatest ☝️📈✅

You should either commit to a position or accurately portray your level of confidence: back and forthing sounds inept and unclear.

@@elideaver Is this an issue you'd like to discuss in depth? Or are you simply prejudiced against the wishy-washy? Because I could go either way.

Even so they missed out Kellogg

I was certainly waiting for a tie in to the dust bowl vs those vast fields of wheat. At least a mention if it was a factor or not for the regiopn.

@@desundial It's a bleached brand of history.

Cargill is mentioned in the first 5 mins of the video.

Are you aware that there is no such person as Betty crocker? They came up with a name I believe from holding a contest just as Joan Crawford got her name ( Lucille Lesuer) I suppose they believed Betty crocker sounded like a woman who bakes. I used to work at a restaurant where we served calamari. After bringing the entre people complained asking me what kind of fish it was. I told them it was squid. I could see the look of disgust on their faces. The Italian word for squid because it sounds prettier. Same with canola oil (RAPEseed)

Seeing as how our health problems really started in earnest a mere 40 years ago, there's more to this story than "wheat is killing us". Monsanto and Roundup, with their destruction of our soils, and the idiotic spraying of that nasty shit on the very grain kernels we now eat, is a big part of our problems, IMHO.

You do. It’s auntie. BBC. PBS gets government money. Hence the name public broadcasting.

​@@SoyyodavidZzxyBBC is general entertainment. PBS is for education

And unfortunately, propaganda and corruption. As a kiwi, I used to listen to BBC broadcasts for years. A bit after the turn of this century, BBC became suspect. A look at BBC promoters who have been prosecuted for gross misbehaviour reinforces this.

You do have Masterpiece and that's a great show too!

Both "soft" and "hard" wheat varieties are still produced.
