In this video, we’re going to talk about America’s favorite vegetable. Can you guess what it is?

Corn is America’s favorite vegetable. It's debatable whether corn is an actual vegetable, or grain, or fruit. I personally don’t consider it a vegetable. The problem with corn is that it’s not very high in nutrients. It also doesn’t have a lot of fatty acids or amino acids. The other big problem is that 93% of corn in the United States is GMO

The two versions of GMO corn:

• Herbicide tolerant - Resists glyphosate (roundup ready corn)
• BT - The corn is basically an insecticide

A few more things about corn:

• The government subsidizes corn
• Corn is turned into high-fructose corn syrup
• We use a lot of corn oil
• The average American consumes 160 pounds of corn per year
• Corn is the most genetically modified food
• 93% of corn in the United States is GMO

Fact or opinion?:
Opinions:
• GMO’s are considered safe
• FDA is “confident that the GE food is as safe as it’s counterpart”
Facts:
• WHO calls the chemicals in GMO foods a probable carcinogen
• FDA does not test for safety for GMO
• Most safety tests done on animals for GMO corn are only for 3 months
• FDA does not require independent safety tests
• FDA does not require companies to submit their full safety studies
