But.....without corn, there would be no corn dogs!

Well done. I agree, but I was expecting more rants about undigested kernels.

I subscribed to your newsletter.

Also, I hate when a bit of corn fiber gets stuck between my molars.

Corn dogs, yes! And cornbread! And Chex Mix would be missing something without the Corn Chex, and that song in "Oklahoma" couldn't find another crop that grows "as high as an elephant's eye," and we'd never get to make jokes about the size of the Green Giant's Niblets. And, that's about all I can come up with in defense of corn, so go go ahead corn h8er, I won't stand in your way. (Just save enough corn for the dogs and the Chex)

Good for the poo but bad for you!
i got two babby corns when i bought fresh corn yesterday.
Down with big corn.
How is babby formed?

Nothing beats the heat like a tall glass of corn nog.

I hate corn too!

I like fresh corn on the cob.

I do not like high fructose corn syrup in my hamburger buns/other breads, salad dressing, relish, non-diet soda, cereals, and a jillion other places.

corn is awesome wtf is wrong with you

gosh you people are picky! First, it was cilantro, then it was sardines. And now corn. Corn? What's going to be next? Stop this madness!

Whatchoo got against cilantro corn salad?

Many people love corn, my friend. Many people. You've just made yourself dozens thousands of enemies. I have a home security system I'll send you right away.

Kidding, other than that agribusiness and the Farm Bureau, who can be scarier than the Geo Bush supported Contras were in Central America and sometimes more thuggish (yet manically underhanded), will give you the same treatment they gave Howard Lyman and Oprah if your blog gets enough hits. There are Federal laws against badmouthing agribusiness. No, LOL, I'm not kidding on that one. The assholes have a ridiculous huge lobby with numbers massively inflated by free Farm Bureau membership given away in the fine print of insurance policies, the sneaky-ass bastardos.

Anyway, great job!

but, but waita minute. Pollan's article says nothing about GM corn and the such that. Which is like taking Judas out of the Bible, ya know? Did I miss it? This pie chart makes me hungry. not.

AMEN. Pollan and Capn for all. That cat opened my eyes to this whole thing. It's madness indeed.

Thanks folks. I have rants rumbling around in my noggin about high-fructose corn syrup and the ethanol scam.
