Last night we saw the documentary King Corn. It is incredibly thought-provoking and interesting. I'll be the first to admit I don't understand anything about agriculture, where my food comes from or how it gets to my grocery store. [On road trips, Mark and I play "Guess What's Growing in That Field?" but we never know what the right answer is.] Anyway, it's amazing to realize that our food gets tampered with, from subsidizing the farmers to artificially stuffing cows with corn to genetically modifying plants.
