Millet was, in my times, rejected by Argentine farm animals for being too rough a fourage. Maize (corn) was accepted but not sorghum. Only birdfeed contained some grains of millet. How could I imagine that fifty years later I shall be surviving on boiled millet seeds? It happens that the Secret Engineeress is engaged in a secret plan to starve and/or punish and/or improve the Secret Engineer and "serving" plain, saltless, tasteless boiled birdfeed for lunch. ("Serving" does not describe it.) The daughters survive on sweets they buy on the streets. I dont know what to say except to record the insipid facts.

2. I remember reading a Tom Clancy novel where the Soviets broke a man by putting him in a room where the lights never went out, his food arrived on an irregular schedule, and his food was always identical and bland. The purpose was to get the target to lose track of environmental cues that signal the time of day and the number of days.
3. I listened to a Korean War veteran in school who had been captured by the communists. He said they were fed millet as the main staple of their diet.
In Kever Benjamin we have shops specialized in selling all kind of exotic grass seeds, like Durrah and Quinoa and Pennisetum. Some make bread from them. We eat cellulose (bark chips as bulking agent) enriched black "bread". It does nothing to me, I am still fat.
