The United States. We have more corn than almost all other nations combined. Corn capitol of the universe!
Unfortunately, food producers discovered that corn syrup was cheaper than good ole' honest sugar, and so they started putting high-fructose corn syrup in our food. I mean, they put it in almost EVERYTHING. It's considerably difficult to find something that does NOT have high fructose corn syrup in it. It's not really good for you, and very fattening. They fatten us all up like a herd of cattle, and then they start screeching about how we're all obese. Maybe if they'd start producing REAL FOOD again, the way they used to...
