Hermit lore:

I HATE corn.

I cant stand the taste and texture 😩 if I eat my food and feel that distinct wet 'pop' followed by a sweet taste mixed in with my savory meal, I lose a little bit of my life force.

No thank you!!!

However......

When I go visit my grandma for dinners here and there, for WHATEVER reason....she puts corn in her rice and-*bites a brick* I....I eat it.

I eat the fucking corn....and only make faces when shes not looking but I eat the cursed yellow.

Hehehehe but now that I have the packed meal at home I PICK THAT ISH OUT!!! NO CORN THANK YOU!!!!

Send me a “.-.?” and I’ll tell you a random thing I know

American food has a lot of fructose in it because it has a lot of corn in it (fructose is corn sugar). That is also why the midwest is so full of corn. We use a lot of it because we put it in everything, so it’s a very profitable product for farmers to grow. 

This started around the great depression when we discovered that if you add corn sugar to things, you can make more food and feed more people for less money. Which was hella good when the economy was in shambles and people were starving. 

And then we never stopped doing it because capitalism. :D

Many non Americans will say that our bread and/or food in general tastes sweet. It does. We put a lot of corn in it. This does not help with our obesity problem.
