Corn is not a vegetable

Look at all the bullies in this thread! We're all here for the same reason. Why aren't you supporting the OP?????

if you don't have anything nice to say or you don't agree with her, you don't have to post. Just move on!

I don't think anyone is here to bully the OP, but you know perfectly well what the reaction on these threads will be if you post a blanket statement like "X is bad for you." with no information/research to back it up. This is no place for those who are thin-skinned.


























(Someone had to say it, right?)

What do you use to fatten up cattle? CORN
Get educated
Most corn is gmo
Grains are not an essential nutrient ....no one needs them to survive

Commercial cattle are fed corn, but they are fattier than their grass fed counterparts primarily due to lack of movement. Cattle that are allowed to roam and graze are leaner because they get more exercise.

We don't need fish to survive either, but that doesn't mean we are better off without it.

Also, while you can survive without corn/grains, it isn't the specific food. Grains contain nutrients that we DO need to survive and be healthy. You can get those nutrients from other sources, though, so you can live without the grains.

There isn't any one specific food or food group that we NEED to survive. We get our nutrients from the variety we eat, though. That includes grains.

Not to argue with you, cause obviously corn is not right for you I see, but your statement doesn't have to do with being educated.

And, some cattle are fed corn for a variety of reasons. I don't eat that type of cattle, but that's another story.
Not all corn is gmo. And I *try* not to eat gmo corn.
I don't know any one particular food that is essential to survival. Doesn't mean that corn has no nutrients or value if you incorporate it into your diet. As a matter of fact, it is listed on the website I referred you to as one of the world's healthiest foods because of it's many nutrients.

With that said, I wouldn't suggest an all corn diet, or an all anything diet. But for people that choose to incorporate grains in their diet, there are benefits and I wouldn't advise them to stop eating corn.

As for me, I like corn and will continue to eat it.

Of course, others insist on the grain classification and most New York politicians like the vegetable classification."

I grew up across the street from a New York state cornfield.

Worst thing about it was fertilizing season. EEEEWWWWW!!!!!

<===== All "ears" here to learn why corn is bad!

I wonder if trolls like corn?

Not directly. Trolls eat goats and goats eat corn. But then again, the biggest Billy Goat Gruff has something for his @$$...

yes, high in carbs.
But 1 cup has 48% of your daily DV fiber. And many other nutrients, so let's not just write it off as "bad".
It's a staple of many cultures, such as some Latin American and Aftican countries.

Per http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5687/2
I cup of corn has the following %DV :
25% Iron
43% Thiamin
20% Riboflavin
30% Niacin
52% B6
25% Iron
53% Magnesium
35% Potassium
26% Copper
40% Manganese
37% Selenium

This pretty much sums up my feelings about corn.

Corn has been altered so many times in a lab that it isn't even really "corn" anymore. I like to eat foods that are food, and anything that produces its own pesticides isn't a food to me.

That being said, corn on the cob with butter and salt is delicous....but I think the deliciousness comes from the butter and salt, not the corn itself.
