See for example this thread first.

It seems we're awash in corn
and by-products from night until morn
In all that we chew
and now for our cars, too!
No wonder I treat it with scorn!

I once toured a corn processing plant in Iowa. There were two silos which could EACH hold 250,000 bushels. The plant rendered the corn into the ever-lovin' "high fructose corn syrup" which is used in so many of our products.

Fascinating, but it showed me the true meaning of agribusiness--maybe they are pushing for ethanol (can you say Archer Daniels Midland) because the health effects of corn syrup are going to cause a backlash similar to Big Tobacco ??

Cheers!
