KING CORN

I'm wearing brown cloggy shoes today. Walking from class to class this morning, I noticed some piece of debris found its way into one shoe. So I slipped it off and discovered a single kernel of corn.

Which reminds me, earlier this week I saw a documentary called King Corn. It's all about the hidden costs to corn (subsidies, feedlots, obesity) and I quite enjoyed it. Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma is a more comprehensive report on this topic but this one is distilled and a little more animated.

Good stuff.
