corn is everywhere!!

First when I read the question for this week’s blog, I thought the experiment is going to be easy. But not until I clicked the list of things I should avoid, I was little surprise that many ingredients or food I consume contain corn. During the experiment my eating habit did changed and it was actually hard to keep it up, because so many desert or snack I usually eat has corn in it. Basically for the two days, I became total vegetarian. Starting from only drinking water, eat more fruit and vegetable with no dressing but lemon. And I did really felt healthy but I was for sure I couldn’t keep this experiment longer than two days. One of interesting fact I found out is that for the two days I could not eat my multi-mineral supplement, because it had corn in it. And I did not know the corn was in the capsule at all. Who would know the vitamin supplement has corn in it, rather than all the minerals. We now live in the world, without even noticing a lot of food we consume include corns. It almost seems like we are addicted to it too. I remember looking at my food closet and refrigerator to find out which food does not have corn, 2 out of 30 items was without corn, especially fast food items had corn ingredients in it for sure. Personally, I was very shock. Americans today do consume too much corn, and too much is never good for health and ourselves. However, I know for sure government is behind all these corn company within lobby system. Although I don’t it’s too late to discuss this corn ingredient in food chain and companies for the future. People are getting bigger and unhealthy ways. the public and the media do need to educate student and adults how consuming too much corn can harm their health.
