Corn... my best friend.
With my lifestyle, it is quite nearly impossible not to ingest any form of corn over the span of a day or two. As a student with limited funds and an unpredictable schedule, a majority of the meals I eat are either frozen, microwaveable meals or fast food picked up on the go. Buying meals without preservatives or with real sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup is expensive! Not to mention, those meals aren't readily available on campus or anywhere but the grocery store, really. Luckily, I work at a restaurant where most of our food is made fresh and I get a 50% discount, so it does become a little more easy for me to have a whole meal without corn. At least it would be, if it wasn't for my arch enemy... Coke. Coca-cola is my drug. I'm not a coffee drinker so I get most of my caffine from Coke, and if I try to go most of a day without it, I get a wicked caffine headache. So even though I went almost a whole day without eating corn in my food, I caved and couldn't spend a whole day without my high-fructose corn syrup infused coke! I have gone through periods before where I have been able to lay off the coke and drink primarily water, but I always find myself going back to that sweet, sweet corn. I know it's bad for me, but honestly, I'm 21... it's not going to catch up with me for a while, so why face the ugly truth yet?
