    I saw an interview on TV this morning (I think it was with Diane Sawyer) with those two guys - so illustrate their point, they did carbon testing on strands of hair to see how much of the carbon in our bodies is made up of corn. Of the four results they showed (belonging to the two guys, Diane Sawyer, and some other news guy), between 48 and 58 percent of the carbon was from corn. Crrrrrraaaaaaaazy. They also showed a table full of food and other items (from soda to apples to CDs) and the only thing on the table that did not contain some kind of corn product was a bunch of bananas.
