Chlormequat has been recommended for and used on grains since the 1960s. So yes, probably nothing has changed and we are just seeing something now that we weren't looking for previously.

Honestly… given the source of the research… I likely wouldn’t have posted it if I read further first. My father for all his education tends to give too much credit for these things.

Do you think that was due to the Chlormequat?

In any event, that's what you get for going to a taco truck in Ohio. You should try one in San Antonio sometime.
I was actually referring to some disappointing taco experiences I had the last time I was in California.

If I want great tacos in Ohio… we just get out the tortilla press and make them ourselves. It turns out that to have good “ethnic” food, you don’t need to import millions of immigrants; you just need a recipe book.

If you are in Cali, try San Jose' next time.
