Corn
Submitted by William001 on Tue, 06/18/2013 - 2:03pm. YES
Today our component went to Manchester Market and looked at all the groceries within the store that was made by a corn product. The majority of the sweets, cereals, dressings, and marinade was made from corn syrup or dextrose. Both of these substances are by-products of corn. It is surprising the amount of substances that are my corn. in the future, I hope that America learns to be more self-sufficient without corn.
