I saw an Independent Lens show on PBS a little while ago about how we are eating basically corn. That means just about everything we eat and drink can be traced back to corn. From corn feed for animals to corn sweetener in everything we drink or eat. Here's a link to the PBS IL site. The whole film is not on the PBS site and there is a link to another site that will sell you a copy. But there is a lot to read and some video on the PBS site. If you haven't seen it I would just keep a eye on PBS for a repeat.

Read the book "The Omnivore's Dilemma," which I have blogged about in the past. It has a great rundown on the ubiquity of corn in our diet. Goes a long way toward explaining why you and I are so ... ah, never mind.
