What, nobody's ever heard of "corn" as a "staple carbohydrate"?! Which is odd, considering it's in damn near everything in western diets these days and generates most of our calories!

Oh, and corn is also the "staple" that's most full of systemic pesticides (meaning they're the kinda chemicals that never go away and just travel throughout the food chain… but that's another topic)!

Why is Corn in Everything?
Corn is what feeds the steer that becomes your steak. Corn feeds the chickens and the pig. Corn feeds the catfish raised in a fish farm. Corn-fed chickens laid the eggs. Corn feeds the dairy cows that produce the milk, cheese, and ice cream. Chicken nuggets are really corn wrapped up in more corn. If you wash down your chicken nuggets with almost any soft drink, you are drinking corn with your corn.
