Ahhh, no need to pass the corn. Look around you. It’s everywhere. “King Corn“, is a new documentary that shows just how full of corn our society really is.
I found it pretty ironic that mid-film I got a craving for some popcorn. I paused the doco, popped some little kernels, filled my “popcorn” bowl and sat back down. After about 20 minutes, I realized what I had done. Stupid corn.
Anyway, the film is entertaining and informative. Pair it with Michael Pollan’s book, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and you’ll be up to your ears in corn.
Purchase the DVD or rent it (I found it at my local Blockbuster) and gather up some friends to watch it.
And of course, the Corn Refiners Association wants everyone to keep eating and guzzling more corn products. Check out their ad:
Thanks corn industry. But I much prefer this ad from King Corn:
