This article, The Corn Industry's Killing You, requires two parts, because of the sheer volume of evil in the corn industry spews. In fact, they remind me of the tobacco industry, lying and misdirecting for decades while millions of people died. If you missed my set-up article for this series, about how the agribusiness uses lobbyists and campaign contributions to affect our laws, read it for your own good.
Part I of "The Corn Industry's Killing You" studied how corn has flooded our country's food. Nearly everything you purchase has corn in it, and the government's done nothing to study what consuming mass quantities of an inherently indigestible food might lead to. Kudos to the corn lobby and campaign donation efforts for that blind eye. Do yourself a favor and read Part I.
Part II that will focus on how the corn industry is muscling in as the ethanol standard, when it's not much better for the world than using petroleum. More importantly, there are more efficient processes already out there.
Now, this "trilogy" will come to a close (until I decide to revisit it again).

Well, the corn industry is killing us on two fronts. They have established themselves as a polluter of almost all of the food we consume and they are working on setting themselves up to be a false solution to global warming that will do nothing to slow greenhouse gases. Read on, and you, too, will be hot like JLF. If you think Part I is bad, wait to you see how devious they are being in Part II.
Again, if you missed my pre-amble to this, about how the agribusiness uses lobbyists and campaign contributions to affect our laws, read it for your own good.

I started a double-article on how the corn industry is trying to kill you, but then realized I needed a pre-article to explain how pissed I get at the lobby/campaign contribution system. I'll first focus on the American Agribusiness System's efforts (capitalized because it's such a monumental piece of crap), but I'm sure more industries will be given the JLF treatment.
As a citizen, you voice your opinion at the ballot box. Every couple of years you get the opportunity to put your one vote up against the million others fellow citizens, most of them idiots. Corporations, meanwhile, have millions and millions of dollars to hire representatives who persuade/bribe/influence politicians to shape policy. Their presence is constant, persistent, and, unfortunately, it is effective.
Someone hired by a company to persuade/bribe/influence politicians is called a lobbyist. A whole group of them is called a lobby of ass holes.
