Knowing more about the "corn system" (How it's grown, modified, and used to "manufacture" food) has led me to avoid it myself as well.

Pain is a strong motivator. Perhaps there is a branch in your area that is willing to modify the program to meet your spcific needs?
A friend had tried all the usual ways to quit smoking. Cold turkey, the patch, the gum, hypnosis, group therapy, and Lord only knows what else. He decided that he hates pain more than he likes to smoke, so he had me agree to hit him every time I caught him smoking. Anywhere, as hard as I could. So, he manages to quit based on the fact that I'm gonna wallop him something good, and then I move 12 hours away.
Go home to visit, but don't tell anyone I'm coming. Get there a bit early, expect him to still be at work, so I hit the bar down the block. Who's sitting at the bar with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other? He had his back to me, so I walk up (without saying a word), tap him on the shoulder, and lay him out on the floor when he turns around. Turns out he only smokes at the bar, and had even forgotten our agreement (the bartender was another friend, he remembered the agreement upon seeing me, and kept his mouth shut as I walked up, for the laugh potential).
That would work well, but most of my friends are a bit bigger than me. Take, for example, John Brown. If, hypothetically, because he doesnt smoke, say he wanted to quit, and wanted me to punch him whenever I caught him smoking. I think he would probably laugh if I punch him. Then he would punch me back, and then I would die.

Yeah girlfriend's sister is allergic to corn, rice, wheat, carrots, peaches, apples, etc. Makes family dinners with her "interesting" She's good about bringing her own foods, but we feel bad that she can't eat rice, etc (asian family, rice in nearly every meal, including breakfast)

you just need a bigger pipe...
Funny thing is JTP quit smoking about the same time I did, I could have used someone jumping my jaw a few times at first.
Now that it has been a few years I don't miss it much... when I am sleeping.

Yes, it showed locally at our True/False film festival (very good non-fiction film festival right here in the middle of nowhere) and the directors were on hand for questions. Very informative movie and fairly entertaning (as far as documentaries go). I'd recommend EVERYONE...everyone see this movie. I own it (directors gave a copy to my ex).
