Corn Everywhere

When trying to avoid all corn for one day, I discovered how difficult it can be. I don't have any allergies, so I never have had to read food labels. I usually glance at the label for nutrition information but never diligently read every ingredient. Also, I realized that most quick and easy foods contain corn. I accidentally ate one or two pieces of food without even considering their ingredients, I just wanted something to eat right then. Corn seemed to literally be every where. There were so many products that I would never imagine would contain any corn product but did due to a preservative or high fructose corn syrup. Trying my best to avoid all corn for only one day was more difficult then I was expecting. I now think that I should spend a little more time considering what goes into the food idea. Processed foods may provide a quick meal but it could be containing some products that I do not want to be consuming a lot of, like corn.
