Corn is a very effective crop because it has been being cultivated and gone through artificial selection for thousands of years. The problem is we are pinching every last thing out of the corn that we can even if its bad for our health overall. This is unnecessary for our situation, however I do support it in other parts of the world were its either doing this or having a complete lack of food which would cause people to starve. I don't push for organic stuff, but I stay away from foods that abuse these fattening byproducts.
