Oh, I'm not saying that the on-the-cob eatin' corn hasn't been jacked with... I'm just saying that the huge huge huge miles and miles of corn fields out in the mid-West, which have a pastoral look about them, contain corn that is basically inedible. It is grown only for its use as an agent to be recycled into other food and food-like substances. Watch King Corn, and you'll learn more! (And then promptly forget much of it, like me :-/)
