Corn Bad

I've decided I'm against corn. To much food comes from corn; corn syrup, corn oil, corn starch and all modified, partially-hydrogenated, high fructose variants. Also remember that your chicken was probably feed a corn mixture, as well as your feed-lotted cattle. So if i had to guess 70% of what's in the supermarket has corn in it.

Cob Corn... MMM Tasty. especially on the BBQ next a tri-tip; and then all messy with butter. I digress.

The other corn isn't probably all that good for you. Humans need something like 40 nutrients. Only a few can be found in corn. We need a wide variety of food sources. With so much food being from corn I don't think we are getting it. Further, dependence on a single food source really sucks when a crop disease springs up.

All this extra corn is processed corn. I think manufacturers choose it because its cheap filler. I think it's cheep because its heavily subsidized. So in a sense our tax dollars are being used to promote corn over other food stuffs. Are you as excited as I am about that possibility?

And then there is ethanol. Which is a whole post by it's self.

Amuse yourself with this experiment. Don't eat anything with corn, corn syrup, corn starch, corn oil, corn feed meat, dairy from corn feed livestock, or any other corn product for a week. I bet you'll eat something corn by accident.

Not the bad kind of corn. Only the good kind comes out recognizable.
