Corn is a fascinating organism. We use corn for everything from food to biofuel to feed for farm animals. A DNA test of a single human hair shows that the average American’s carbon content is 69% from corn. That’s a huge percentage! So clearly we have some form of dependency on corn in our lives the way that they are operating today. What I find fascinating though is that corn needs us in order to reproduce. Should humans vanish off the face of the earth today, corn would vanish with us. The nature of the kernel, covered carefully in its husk and in extreme close proximity to many other kernels would not be able to disperse or survive without the help of human propagation. I find this to be quite ironic, our co-dependency upon one another, humans and corn.
