I see nothing wrong with it. Washing is recommended because it is grown outside, and if it is not organic, pesticide are likely to be on it. The corn may not be as tender. It is all a matter of preference. I have had raw corn, and there have been no problems. I am talking about sweet corn. Dent corn is inedible, but is used most often (it is altered before being made for human consumption). Even if you eat dent corn raw (as long as you don't eat too much of it) it will likely pass in the same way gum passes through your system if you accidentally swallow it(gum is flavored rubber).

Why chuck the corn not peel the corn?

The correct phrase is "shuck the corn" rather than "chuck the corn". To "chuck" means to throw. "Shuck" means to peel something off of, such as a corn husk. To use "shuck" as a noun means a material consisting of seed coverings and small pieces of stem or leaves that have been separated from the seeds (corn). Which is why we say "shuck the corn".

What happens to corn after it is sold?

That depends on who bought it and why. Some might shuck it, boil it, smear it with butter, and then eat it. Some kernels (depends on the form too) might be used for popcorn. Some corn might be used to make cereal or fuel. Some might go for feeding animals. Who knows... some people might use it for target practice.
