Actually, the field had to be cleared of native plants before sowing the
corn. The native plants, in turn, gave habitat to animals. All gone.
Much of the corn that is grown is for animal feed, and only because
"Feed Lots" typically slaughter at 6 months, do the beef not get stomach
ulcers, but it can't be pleasant, nonetheless.
More over, you don't know if the packing house where your corn came from
has rats, or bats or some other enteric bacteria vector. You don't know
if, or what chemicals have been used on the corn to make it a bright
yellow, to lengthen its shelf life, or to sterilize it before packaging.
Lastly, you don't know if the plastic bag of corn has been kept cold.
Every bite you take into the unknown is an act of faith.
EEEWWW!
