The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan is a fact-filled book about the true means of the food we eat, where is came from, and the true nature of the food we are eating now. The first chapter is about corn. How it came to be, its impact on our lives, and what key roles it plays everyday without us even knowing about it.
In part 4: Married to Man in Chapter 1, corn is depended on humans saying that "without humans to plant it every spring, corn would have disappeared from the earth..." which I think is enteresting because in The rise of Zea Mays "there is every reason to believe that corn has succeeded in domesticating us." From this it seems that corn is not only part of humans' diet but plays a key factor in the 'circle of life.'
Why would such an important factor of the key to human survival go completely unnoticed or be ignorant to human inteligence?
