Does corn help your breasts grow?

Yes, along with a bit of a belly. See, corn is a starchy vegetable. Starch is carbohydrate, which is a type of "sugar" that is converted to energy when the body needs it. If the body has excess of this energy, it gets stored as fat. Excessive amounts of corn consumed in attempts to enlargen the breasts can lead to fatness around the midsection and hips. And I don't think many women want that to happen to themselves.

How do you crack corn?

Corn is a grain much like wheat or rice and you can make flour out of it (called corn meal) too. HOWEVER corn has a very hard kernel and if you were to put the whole grain into a grind-stone it would wear grooves into it. (Not a good thing to happen to a grind-stone). So before you can mill corn you have to crack the kernels open. This is done by another grind-stone, one that is not so expensive as the real one, not expected to do such a fine job, doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, if you know what I mean. I've seen people do this by hand using a grooved tray and a rolling pin type grind-stone.

Cracking and grinding can be done with the same stone, it is a matter of raising or lower the top stone to make the gap the corn in ground in narrower or wider, making the corn fine or coarse.
