Corn - Mr. Hu


I've been reading the great book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma," written by Michael Pollan. This work is mostly a response to learning about how corn has come to dominate the American agricultural landscape. It's really amazing how corn's privileged place in government legislation. makes it incredibly cheap, which feeds into the agribusinesses, which churn out so much cheap high-fructose-corn-syrup-infused food, which makes us Americans so delightfully plump.
