I found number 7 interesting mainly because of modern dwarf wheat. I'm sure it has become so popular because of drought/disease/pest resistance, high yields, etc., but look at the sacrifices we make all the time for convenience. This time it's nutritional value.

I recently began to taste a difference when eating non-organic meat, ESPECIALLY chicken. It tastes terrible to me- there's a very off putting flavor there that I can't put my finger on, but it totally grosses me out. As a result, I don't order chicken when I'm out to eat anymore unless it is sauced/spiced beyond recognition, and I eat less meat because I now spend the extra money on better quality meat.

Re: your side note- I too love eggs and butter, especially with toast. I prefer my eggs poached if they're fresh enough, but I will always eat them fried (in butter, of course.)
