King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm. King Corn opens in New York City on October 12, 2007 at Cinema Village in a limited engagement, and will be released in several other cities in the following weeks. Website: http://www.kingcorn.net

Hell, what pisses me off is that subsidized farms that manufacter corn is providing Mexico with most of it's corn supply, simply because it's cost 6 pesos to grow it there but only 4 do buy it from the United States! Now that includes shipping! WTF? Your hard earned tax dollars at work GIVING corn to Mexico instead of creating a much needed alternate fuel such as Ethanol
Before we throw the baby out with the bath water, commodity corn is not the same thing as the corn you can eat right off the cobb. So there's no need to stop buying fresh corn from farmers markets or growing it yourself. It's all the food additives that come from commodity corn that we should be avoiding. Don't eat anything you don't recognize in nature or that needs to be extracted and created in a lab.
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners has recently taken down it's YouTube page.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the high-fructose corn syrup ad campaign. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
