It's small, mushy and yellow. No more than a few centimeters across. Most people consider it to be no more than a summertime nuisance - one of those few foods that contains the ever-present potential to jam itself between your pearly white teeth.
Sounds funny. Sounds cute.
But it's time to unmask the ugly truth about corn. Amerindian maize. The dull yellow stuff.
Laugh not, because this fiber-filled little plant seed has destroyed your world. And it threatens to rock the foundations of the future.
During the coming weeks we will take you on an incredible journey. You will travel to Mexico (metaphorically of course) to visit Coca-Cola factories; you will travel to Brazil to learn about ethanol refineries; you will travel to Washington D.C. to learn about the nefarious and far-reaching American Corn Farmer's Lobby; you will travel back in time to a pre-corn syrup era and into a dark and polluted future filled with billowing smokestacks and gesticulating "Middle American" politicians.
Brace yourself corn farmers. June 14 to July 14, 2007 are officially BODDASSCUBR's Anti-Corn-Based-Ethanol Month.

Unless you're talking about Big Corn. They could crush the Wiz.
