The Omnivore's Dilemma- "I'll have a large corn with a side of corn with corn to drink please"

Well, I've been reading some of Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma  and I was shocked to discover just how much corn we really eat every day. Here are some of the facts about various products on McCorn's, I mean McDonald's, menu: soda -approximately 100 percent corn, milk shakes- 78% corn, chicken nuggets- 56% corn, cheeseburger- 52% corn, french fries- 23% corn. Yeah that's alot of corn. It's just some food for thought. The next time you order anything from McDonald's just remember what your actually eating is a corn-burger, corn-nuggets, and a delicious corn-shake.
