I still find it interesting how corn is used so much. How is it that corn is used that much and yet a majority of our food is still very unhealthy and harmful? Wouldn’t it make more sense if natural food was grown, prepared, and sold rather than stuff being created, separated, and dissected? It seems like it takes more work to make some type of synthetic things to eat rather than grow natural items. Natural items are called natural for a reason.
I also found it interesting about the parts of a corn kernel. The part on the inside is the actual part that they use to develop into something and the yellow part actually holds the vitamins. All the different ingredients that they label on different foods now I’ve heard of before. Xanthan gum, MSG, etc. MSG is something that I’ve always been told to avoid because of the harmful effects on your body like clogged arteries, and bad headaches, etc.
It struck me funny how the guy said he overheard General Mills coming up with an organic frozen dinner meal, yet it had all the small fractions of the chemical compounds of corn like all the other non organic products. That shows that you can’t trust much of anything these days. You need to read labels of almost everything you buy especially if you’re about to switch to the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.
