The Grain Elimination Game: GO TO POLL

The rules:
1. you may vote once per day
2. you vote by adding a point to a grain you like, and subtracting a point from one you don't
3. once a grain has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again
4. the game ends with a poll where you vote for one option.

note - "wheat" refers to refined wheat (white flour, regular pasta/couscous, etc). both wheats include stuff like semolina/durum, hard/soft varieties. "rice" refers to white rices. Corn includes stuff like polenta, grits, masa, etc.

I am totally not understand this game.... 
What is teh +1's and -1's.  You don't mean to eliminate out of your diet do you?  Why would you want to, grains are very healthy.

You are correct, snowqueen. We are eliminating all other grains until there's only one we'll eat. There have been other elimination games, and so far our diets will consist of only: pineapple, mango, black beans, broccoli, and basil. It's called the Elimination Game diet. You haven't heard of it?

Love it!

Then after we are done with all the elimination lists we are going to start eliminating between those foods until eventually we only eat 1 thing for the rest of our existence :)

Yeah, it's better for the environment if we only eat one food from now on.

Damn, I thought we were eliminating the onces that we could still eat, that the ones left were the foods we couldn't have. I am TOTALLY going to have to go shopping again tomorrow...crap, another reason to whine....
