Starting sometime between WWII and the early 1970s, in North America (the best America of all), corn started to seep its way further and further into our diet, First, it became cheaper to feed animals corn than grain. Then, corn syrup found it's way into more and more items such as breads and pops. Your happy meal - fries, burger and pop? corn + corn + corn. The fries are deep fried in corn oil, the burger bread has corn in it, the cow for the meat was fed corn and the pop has corn syrup.
Our Irish heritage has taught us the danger of relying on one product - in the 1840s in Ireland, the potato famine killed a million people and 5 million more moved away to avoid starvation when the whole potato crop failed.
Also, good idea for terrorists? Small doses of posion in corn fields and watch it concentrate its way into our diet (the DDT way).
Oh yeah and all that corn stuff is making us heavier and less healthy.
