Corn is healthy and nutritious and you can add it to your best diet plans without any worries.
However, what if we told you that corn is messing up the American food system in ways you won’t even imagine?
The average American consumes around 1 ton of corn per year, and there used to be a time when the government paid farmers to grow less of it in order to keep corn prices stable; but not anymore.
Corn is really harmful to our bodies and the environment as well, the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) consist of stuffing animals in small areas and feeding them corn all day long, which makes our diets filled with unhealthy corny meat, and our waters contaminated with dangerous corn poop.
