Grasses - Revision history

TheHermit: Added in concept of pillars of domestication. I will be building on that further. The nightshade family (which includes potatoes) is another pillar. Imagine how much famine we would have without bread or potatoes?

	"Grass" is a colloquial name for members of the [[Poaceae]] [[plant family]]. They include domesticated [[cereal crops]] such as [[maize]] (corn), [[wheat]], [[millet]], and [[rice]] are eaten around the world. The Poaceae are the most economically important plant family in modern times. They are used for [[forage]], [[building materials]] ([[bamboo]], [[thatch]]) and [[fuel]] ([[ethanol]]), as well as food.
