    It is better than potato chips and worse than broccoli :smile:

    It is not something I eat all the time, but I definitely have corn on the cob a few times per month.

    Edit: also, it is considered a starch, so just make sure to balance it out with protein and a non-starchy vegetable.

    I think farmers feed corn to cows and pigs to fatten them up so I eat
    only a little in the summer because I can't resist fresh corn on the cob.

    If it fits in your daily calorie allotment, absolutely.

    Fresh corn is one of my favorite parts of summer - I have a whole bunch growing in the garden right now! :)
