After watching the movie clips in class I was really intrigued by the concept of tracking a meal back to its orgin, like the hamburger. I watched the short film King Corn and loved it. It is a movie produced by two college grad who explore the relationship between corn and corn syrup. They plant one acre of corn and track it though production. It discussed the implications of corn fed cows and how a large majority of corn is never eaten as corn. With a combination of government subsidies, genetically modified seeds, and herbicides corn is creating huge health problems for the masses.
