Corn syrup is better than our other main use for it: Ethanol

Problem is that we have such extreme subsidies that vast swaths of farmers are now entirely reliant on corn subsidies. We make far more corn than we have any use for because of it

No politician wants to be the one to take away the insane corn subsidies because a whole lot of farmers will be upset, and the American public is generally unaware of how wasteful the subsidies are

Seriously, grilled on the cob dipped in butter is the most bestest way to consume this sweet grass!

The crazy thing is, every time I have tried a yank drink with corn syrup that my country has the equivalent to without corn syrup, the yank one tastes like ass without fail, and leaves your mouth feeling weird.

Especially because most of the corn eaten in the rest of the Americas isn't sweet at all. It's more equivalent of rice, pasta, potatoes, etc...

You can blame the sugar cartels all you want, The truth is if you’re an American, you finance this shit through your taxes. Corporations suck, but what sucks more is that people don’t realize they help pay for their own slow demise in the name of profit.

that's a bingo! rest of the world doesn't use corn syrup

What did the natives call the region in their language?

Mexicans are native

But those native people are still alive and the majority identify as Mexicans (additional to their community's identity). They're often bicultural, bilingual, etc.

Are you really going to walk to Xochimilco, where there are still chinampas, and tell the people they should not take credit for them as a society, for example? As crazy as to walk to an ethnic German in Köln and telling him/her that the Köln cathedral and the... Cologne, sorry, whatever, and the food and the stuff is not really their heritage because "you weren't Germany until...". WTH? Then all Germans did during the Weimar Republic wasn't them. All they did as Empires wasn't them. I hope it's not an awful analogy.

Like, you're technically correct, but pragmatically it doesn't make much sense to me in this case.

So there is hope for people with small dick size? 

and china, they domesticated chinese food

In Turkey corn is called "Egypt" and India is called "land of" either "Turkeys" or "Hinduists" depending on how you chose to interpret it.

I select the first one.

Looks a bit like Jonathan Davis

@smorty you've been a chatbot before, can you answer this question? what's teosinte?

It's just reddit mentality but a few years earlier.

The neurodivergent urge...

And if 90% of it wasn't GMO'd to hell so that the fructose yield was unnaturally high

You might say "prehistoric mexican farmers" or "prehistoric farmers of modern day mexico"

Mesoamerican for what we've called the aztecs and Indigenous American for the ones who were genocided by Europe?

Yes! Actually, Mexican farmers are still fighting to preserve their numerous (really numerous, really rich) variety of corn because capitalists and allies are pushing for monopolies (hence, the same seeds), for profitable crops (hence, the best seeds for that purpose), and rare seeds are in danger. It took centuries to get there...

Mexican ecological fights are bloody.

Personal rant. And I do not understand in which state of mind you need to be to kill someone protecting special corn seeds or butterflies. For what? More money that is not needed because there's enough already in the world? Go take it from the guys who retain it! Leave Nature, and their animals, and the people alone, FFS.
