For God’s Sake, Corn is for eating and drinking. Corn cobs are for wiping your a**.
That’s it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we were really going to be as careful with corn as our legendary* Native American were with the buffalo, then we'd make ethanol from the stalk extractions, feed the leftover fiber to our livestock, eat the kernels and use the cobs not only to make great pipes, but tampons and butt-wipe.

* BTW, I say legendary because I was tutored in a former life by a Sioux scholar who showed me the recorded history of one tribe, about 150 years in a pictographic winter count. About 1825 (when white incursions into Sioux territory were still limited to an occasional explorer or fur trader), there is a pictograph of a cliff drive, where he explained that only the buffalo needed by the tribe were actually used, less than 1/10th of those killed.

While the tribal elders strongly disapproved and warned against this wasteful method of hunting, the young bucks thought the buffalo so numerous at the time that the herd needed thinning, lest they overgraze or, worse yet, provide a magnet for enemy tribes to move into their hunting area.
