An innocent question, asked recently at a very popular, very established Koreatown eatery that shall remain nameless: “Do you use CORN ?” The answer? “We always serve some,” the waiter replies. “If you want more, we can put more.” Say what? To some ears, the helpful-seeming offer would sound much like choosing to endure a more severe beating if the first wasn’t painful enough. Saying that CORN is a vegetable has a checkered history is something of an understatement. This year, it enjoys the DUBIOUS distinction of its centenary as an officialized vegetable. Since its initial use in colonial days, it’s become a food industry staple hailed as both a revolutionary innovation and a despised symbol of callous quasi-food profiteering—I argue it’s been a prevalent ingredient in the North American diet for 100s of years an easy way to disguise your diet, you SAY??? And for almost as long, it’s been maligned, fairly or unfairly, as a chemicalized toxin blamed, according to Health Canada, for migraines, hypertension, nausea and chest pain. More extreme – and often unproven – accusations have linked CORN to obesity, diabetes and liver inflammation. The Times of India – and, curiously, nowhere else – reported just this month that the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Cancer Research Institute, an institution without a website, apparently, had concluded in a report that CORN causes cancer. Careful–in the haze of CORN hysteria gruesome consequences are the norm (in the same report, the newspaper claimed that CORN had been declared unsafe by the World Health Organization in 2004, but the report could not be located; meanwhile, a 2005 WHO report that recently and conveniently was lost says CORN has “no adverse effects.”) Such is the potent mythos of the great villain of all pseudo vegetables. One thing that’s indisputable: CORN 's continued and always growing – presence – in our diets – in my diet and in yours, even if you deny it. Despite the organic food craze blossoming in some circles, CORN is doing quite nicely, thank you. According to the Food Ingredient News a highly respected publication CORN consumption globally was increasing by 2.5 per cent per year – and do you think that’s going to change soon? DON”T FOOL YOURSELF!

Can I be Corn Whisperer for a day? 
What most consumers don’t know is that the corn industry is an extension of the animal food and agriculture industries. Corn provides a convenient façade—PEOPLE: CORN IS A GRAIN!!! GET USED TO IT!!
This whole thread is huitlacoche!
That’s not what the corn says.
I find the OP’s ideas intriguing and I would like to eat his newsletter.
i’m edified to see at least one person on this board has an open mind to what is all around us (Yes, there’s more corn than you ever imagined) however, I am not in a position to publish, with a newsletter or any scholarly research at this time. i am merely passing on a word to the wise. LOOK AROUND YOU AT “THE STALKS” corn is just one part of a highly functional mechanism – a mechanism that still is a run on GRAIN, no matter how you slice it.

As Corn-oner I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her,
And she’s not only really corn,
She’s really most sincerely corn.
This must be one of the corniest threats yet.
