DOCUMENTARY FIND: KING CORN starring Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis

17 Nov

King Corn starring Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis is a real eye opener as to why we as a nation seem to be getting bigger and sicker… where and what Corn Syrup is and how processed corn is everywhere!:

“King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized cr…op that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm ~ Written by King Corn”
