You gotta love some of these postings Laughing. The corn they have in Korea is worth eating and still kind of tasty once you get used to the fact that it's different.


Incorrect.

I love the taste of Korean corn, although I'm not used to the color though.

But if you approach it not expecting sweet corn it can be an enjoyable food. A bit chewy, nice grainy flavor, nutritious.



sadly, there is almost nothing nutritious about corn. mammals were never even designed to eat the stuff.


I'm curious about where you come up with this info. Could you explain further? If nothing else there are useful protiens in corn and there has to be some vitamins and minerals.



corn and how mammals were never designed to eat it is very well documented in the scientific community. i don't have any links for it right now, nor do i really feel like taking the time to find any, but they are out there if you'd like to take the time to research it. corn and how we've come to rely on it so much is actually a pretty fascinating tale.

corn in its natural state before it was turned into the genetic monstrosity it is today grew to be barely taller than the average mans waist.

cows are force fed corn in the meat industry and it wreaks havoc on their digestive systems.

also, corn sugars, even naturally cling to teeth more than standard table sugar, accelerating tooth decay.

it is just popular because it yields a large amount for the area it is grown in, much like rice, and because it can be turned into one of the staples of almost all american foods, hfcs.

believe me, I know, its exactly what we'd feed to cows. But hey, take it home, microwave it, then butter it, and it gets better, really!
