King Corn

We watched a very interesting docudrama called King Corn yesterday. It's about two friends who learn more about the gigantic corn industry in Iowa after finding corn in their hair. Corn products (i.e. corn syrup, corn oil, corn starch, corn fed beef, etc.) are in so many of our food products now that they joke if you were born in the last 30 years, you are made of corn! The sad thing is even though it makes for cheap food it is not nutritious and can have disastrous effects on your body. Btw, I checked this one out from the library for free :-)
