And that's what we're "rallying" against. We want variety in food, decently priced vegetables and less junk food. So in the big picture, yes, corn is very bad for you. A corn cob alone will not hurt you or make you fat....but its when you put all these pieces together that it becomes a serious problem for the American society.

Low cost is a HUGE issue.
We have become a Wal-Mart society. Everyone wants everything cheaper but then want to bitch about quality too.
You can't have it all.
In 1901, an "urban" American family dedicated over 46% of their budget to food and beverages.
Today that number is under 12%.
You can eat cheap or you can eat well.
