Our lives are often based on routine. Easily, we slip into the schedule of work and sleep. But enrichment comes from the sweet variety of life. There are many sweet things the world presents us for the taking: a walk in the park, perhaps; a lingering glance from an attractive stranger; the aroma of a fresh bouquet; a soft kiss from your best gal. And then there are some things that are not sweet. Like corn. On a scale of bland to sweet, corn is second only to water in blandness. But somehow, the mad reach of the agri-industrial complex has produced this hideous Frankenstein of fructose. Worse than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Midwest corn-silo oozes its crude-syrup into every product on the grocer’s shelf. Grab your favorite ice-cold, carbonated corn soda – and lend us an ear – as Mat and Veronique shuck up some corn.
