yep...there's a good movie on our (local) cable tv called "King Corn". it tries at times to be ultra-hip, but it is an independent movie so what do you expect.

anyways, you would be stunned to learn what has happened to food from the corn point of view, and how "farmers" are making money on the "family" farm these days.

it also gives a good explanation to why EVERYTHING we eat now has HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and why the world is getting fat(ter).
