    Isn't corn a whole grain? Aren't whole grains supposed to be good for you?

    Fresh corn on the cob from the farm across the street from our house is pure awesomeness! Corn and grains are not bad for you.

    I know better than to have meat, potatoes & corn and call it a well rounded meal .... but corn is not a "bad food"

    Lol. Well, if you are concerned with your glycemic count, then it's probably a food to limit or eliminate. If you are not, it probably doesn't matter. Although I believe it's true glycemic level increases the longer you wait to eat it after picking. I believe freshly picked corn (like that day) is much lower.

    With that said, most corn I believe is gmo, so I will only eat organic.

    Eta: and no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, will ever come between me and my popcorn! :bigsmile:

    Tons of evidence you've provided supporting your statement.

    Corn is delicious, especially alongside a Nandos chicken pitta and garlic bread. YUM!

    This!!! Seems like for every food out there--there's someone who claims it as "bad"

    I see you're new here....supporting evidence to back your claim is recommended.

    The cool thing is that if it fits my macros, I eat it. It's also incredibly delicious.

    And...why exactly is it bad for you? If you don't have a medical condition like diabetes, it doesn't flippn' matter. Stop spouting nonsense...

    Corn is fine...I eat corn at least once per week and usually twice...I also eat potatoes and rice and all sorts of other stuff that people like you like to demonize and I'm doing just fine losing my 40 Lbs and rockin' my blood work. Climb back into your hole.

    I'll take one for the team and eat your corn. I'll also eat your bacon since smoked/cured meats are carcinogens and not good for you. Oh, and your tomatoes and eggplant as they are nightshade vegetables and they are poisonous.

    I think there have been a few studies that say that corn can help improve cholesterol levels due to some fatty acid it contains can help reduce absorption or something...I don't remember. Nor do I care. Corn is yummy and you can have my corn when I die, and you can lay it right next to my potatoes.

    Yep, tons of methanol in tomatoes, you might as well drink gallons of evil diet drinks!

    See, now maybe you just haven't had it the right way. You take a cob of corn, a half stick of butter, and a clove or two of garlic. Melt the butter and roll the corn in it along with the smashed garlic. Wrap in tinfoil with extra butter pouted into it. Grill until done.

    Either way, I'm with you on the popcorn! :bigsmile:
