High fructose corn syrup is known to be a tasty and all around unhealthy sweetener that we human consume. The inexpensive and readily obtainable sweetener has caused an epidemic obesity that plagued the world shortly after it has been introduced worldwide at supermarkets.

Currently, the dominance of industrial farming, genetic engineering, and lack of sustainable options define a downward trend in food quality: “One reasons why large farms are relatively unproductive compared to small farms is that large farms the world over tend to use monoculture. Monoculture is a single crop species” (8:45). This type of inefficient and wasteful method of farming depletes the land of minerals and tends to produce massive quantities of crops, such as corn and grain

We are all made of corn. Take a strand of your hair. A recent study proved that if you are like the average American consumer today, your hair is 69% made of corn carbon. This is in contrast to the 5% of corn carbon that is in the hair of Europeans.

With something so significant to us, why should we risk the source of where our food comes from?
