Corn is the commodity to watch.
Corn is the essential cheap calorie.
The US produces one ton of corn for every man, woman, and child in the US every year. The key factors in corn are…
- It cannot be digested by people or cattle.
- It is essentially a genitally modified weed.
- It can cause diabetes, cancer, obesity, and hundreds of side ailments.
- It represents the cheapest of the cheap factory food calories.
Corn is essential to Americas junk food industry.
Grass is cheaper…
Along with its barely edible counterpart, soy, its key to the drive thru window and vending machine cuisine tens of millions of Americans feast on daily.
As sarcastic as this may sound, corn has no alternative. Any replacement of corn with something actually edible would cause food inflation to skyrocket. Beef and chicken could triple in price.
The sad fact is people will eat the cheapest crap available to free up money for pot and scratch off tickets.
