Most of the corn grown in the US is not edible. Barely 1.5%. Most of it is grown for sugars, oils and other industrial processes.

not actually true. This is oil and sugar propaganda.

Most of the corn grown in the US is grass. 100% of it, in fact. Soybeans make up a large percentage of animal feed.

    ....grass? you mean feed?

    or do you mean maise technically being a grass, but having diverged greatly from it's original form via agricultural selection?

    if that's the case, when you say most, what's the remainder then?
