And on a much more personal note…

Why the hell doesn’t the stomach properly digest corn?!?

  1. From http://www.heptune.com/poop.html:
    When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernal. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernal, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernal is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up.
