corn != sweet corn regular industrial corn is livestock feed, corn-syrup base, plastics feedstock and the like. horrible stuff, grown in gargantuan quantities. you can't eat it without at least some amount of processing. it's just not food. the stuff you eat off the cob is sweet corn. nobody grows, or eats enough sweet corn for there to be a glut of it.
