Blog Post Reflection- "Cornucopia"

The pervasiveness of corn kn out diets is at an all time high. Corn is used in 90% of the products we buy and eat. For example, high fructose corn syrup , cornstarch, corn oil, and etc. It is a major problem that corn is used in 90% of our food. Most the corn used in the food is chemically altered and can be very dangerous to our health. Sometimes these companies are able to not even tell us about these chemicals in the products. For us to be more informed we need to always read the ingredients on the product and search for these chemicals. In some cases, the companies would try and hide these ingredients by abbreviating them, making it seem it is a different ingredient. I feel as if everyone should have the right to know what is in our food. We are the ones consuming these products and we should know what we are putting in our bodies. It is the companies responsibility to inform us, the consumers, about what is inside the food.
