Ok, so the idea of using corn for food is great and all, but how we came to be is kind of crazy. We use corn to such an extent that we use it for fuel, food, livestock feed, as well as replacement as high fructose corn syrup for regular sugar. The fact that corn is in such abundance gives us reason to find new uses for it, but the fact that that we are using it in such horrible ways, that is despicable. Because Corn stays for longer, I feel like if we planted more sweet corn we could feed more people and help the hunger problem in America.
I plan on keeping on buying organic food and also keep on my diet of not eating red meat. For some reason I feel as though that is not only keeping me healthier, but also even a little bit helping the Earth. Individual actions are easier to start and keep up, where as group/ collective actions are harder to get people up to it and stay with it. Collective groups make more of an impact for the environment.
