I love baby corn. I always keep a can around. mostly I use it for stir fry and when I do I have to try hard not to shove half the can in my mouth while I'm getting it ready. Every grocery around me has had it most of my life in the Asian section.
When I saw the subject line I immediately thought of a vendor at our local farmer's market. They are named Cornhub and have a bunch of merch. www.showmecorn.com
Where your "CornHub" article has a certain witty appeal, it does a serious disservice to its readers when the "healthy" element is completely left out. Not saying it needs to be all about the nutrition of your food subject matter, but from my knowledge about corn, most corn (aside from popcorn and organically grown corn) is GMO (https://www.fda.gov/food/agricultural-biotechnology/gmo-crops-animal-food-and-beyond). Maybe somehow this baby corn escaped such a demise, but if not, you are promoting a genetically engineered substance that has been shown to be extremely unhealthy to humans, never mind the planet. And if it has escaped the evil GMO greed machine, it deserves mention to those who are concerned about what they put in their bodies. I would hope your articles in the future have more than a witty appeal but also include content that benefits its readers.
while we appreciate the feedback, we aren't trying to include all the information about every single thing we write about because that's an impossible task. we aren't trying to promote orthorexia, just a healthy relationship with food.
I get that and respect your position, but not sure how you can have a "healthy" relationship with food without understanding its source and underlying value. It seems we have ignored the biotech's assault on our food to such an extent GMO's are now prolific throughout our grocery stores and a touch of Round-Up in our food and earth as been accepted ho-hum. I have to question our relationship with food when heart disease and diabetes are two of the highest ranking diseases in our country. Who's responsibility is it to address our relationship? Enough said, those little corn guys are cute, just wish they weren't inundated with GMO's as well.
I did not see any mention of nutrition other than to mention the LACK of it in this article. People have all kinds of reasons for going vegan (not all care about health and GMOs). I personally consider them my 'McDonalds' - I usually avoid them but will eat them on a rare occasion- usually to try a fun recipe or eat out. The recipes found here are usually really clean. I am ok with a little junk food (how much baby corn are we really eating?!) And I found the article interesting albeit disturbing for the whole BIG thing.
You are eating GMO whether try to or not. I've probably eaten them all of my 48 years & my health is fine. While I care about my health to an extent, it is not my reason for not eating meat. I am going to keep eating the same produce, GMO or not. It may not be the best practice as it is fueled by greed but there is no evidence that GMO food is harmful to humans .
Not sure whether the "science" behind GMO's will make a difference to you or not as you don't seem moved to research further or stop eating them, but you can find out more by reading here http://earthopensource.org/ When I say "science", I distinguish between biotech's (propaganda) science and that of esteemed scientists such as genetic engineers Dr John Fagan and Dr Michael Antoniou.

You can get fresh baby corn at the grocery store in the UK - we used to use it for stir fry all the time.
and universal healthcare?!! damn you guys

Thanks, but I'm good with where I get my non propaganda information. Keep your assumptions to yourself.
