"When a crop becomes king"

In the article, "When a crop becomes king" Michael Pollan explains how corn is the most produced crop and is only going to continue expanding because of over production. It has a huge impact on us because we consume corn and then the animals we eat also consume just as much corn; the reason animals who should probably not be eating corn, are eating corn is also because of the tremendous amount of left over corn is passed down so it wont be put to waste. Another explaination for the reasons to why we consume as much corn as we do is because corn can be used as two different kinds of food, a healthy vegetable or a tastey meal. It doest help that this crop is very cheap, another result from corn being over produced. Corn is not only harmful to us, but also to our environment considering all the pollution being caused by the cornfields. It is the crop that requires more pesticides than any other food crop. By providing chemicals to the corn fields to keep way predators allowing us to waste water amd depending on our oil, we are letting corn control our land. This act is being called "cornification".
