Learn the history of corn in this concise summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Today, <strong>It All Starts With Corn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a supermarket\u2019s options seem diverse, much of what it offers depends on corn. In fact, of the 45,000 items in the supermarket, a quarter contain corn. Thus, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/industrial-food-chain\/\">industrial food chain<\/a> begins with a farm in the corn belt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The steer that becomes steak eats corn.<\/li><li>Chickens, pigs, turkeys, lambs, catfish, tilapia, and salmon are fed corn.<\/li><li>Cows that produce dairy products are tied to milking machines and troughs of corn.<\/li><li>Ingredients derived from corn dominate supermarket shelves.<ul><li>For example, a chicken nugget contains corn-fed chicken, corn starch, corn flour, corn oil, lecithin, triglycerides, coloring, and citric acid derived from corn.<\/li><li>Sodas and fruit drinks are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup.<\/li><li>Beer contains alcohol fermented from glucose refined from corn.<\/li><li>Corn is a component of coffee creamer, microwave dinners, cake mixes, most condiments, and bologna.<\/li><li>Even non-foods use corn-derived substances. Such items include garbage bags, disposable diapers, matches, cleaning products, and cosmetics.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The supermarket has managed to convince us that 45,000 items represent variety, despite how many come from the same plant \u2014 corn. This is the result of a long history of corn, starting from thousands of years ago.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The History of Corn&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of how corn came to dominate our food chain is an evolutionary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/motivational-success-stories\/\">success story<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agriculture can be considered an evolutionary strategy by plants to get us to advance their interests. Corn (an edible grass) has been the most successful. Humans have nurtured corn in numerous ways, including turning huge amounts of land into corn-friendly habitat.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In history, <strong>corn\u2019s big expansion began when colonists arrived in the New World<\/strong>. They brought their preferred species, particularly wheat, but found that some of them had difficulty adapting to the new environment, where, in contrast, corn flourished.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to history, <strong>Native Americans showed the colonists how to plant and use corn<\/strong>, which turned out to be crucial to the Europeans\u2019 survival in North America as other food crops failed.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corn was (and continues to be) an extremely productive food source &#8211; it creates more organic matter (and calories) from the same quantities of sunlight, water, and basic elements available to other plants. And it had a variety of other uses. Because it was storable, it could be traded or sold. It could be fed to animals as grain or silage, used for fuel and fiber, and even distilled into whiskey.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the colonizers ultimately eliminated many local species, they embraced corn. This was good for corn as a species because it needed human help to reproduce itself. Corn can\u2019t propagate without removal of the husk, separation of the kernels, and planting \u2014 which it can\u2019t do by itself. This knowledge was passed on to colonists by native Americans, who had also learned to cross-pollinate corn and create new kinds. This started the history of corn, and now the rest is history.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corn lost its ability to propagate itself when it mutated the husked ear<\/strong>, which trapped its seeds (kernels) so they couldn\u2019t couldn\u2019t disperse. Here\u2019s how corn\u2019s complicated reproduction process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The tassel at top houses male organs that release pollen.<\/li><li>Female organs are flowers arranged along a cob (800 flowers on a cob, each with potential to produce a kernel, if they can connect with pollen from above).<\/li><li>Each flower sends a strand of silk upward to snag a grain of pollen, to create a kernel.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corn became a form of intellectual property<\/strong>: Because corn can\u2019t reproduce freely, breeders figured out ways to control corn reproduction and protect seeds from copiers; these processes and results were patented.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides helping with propagation, humans helped corn adapt to different environments, from southern Mexico to New England. In turn, <strong>corn adapted to industrial consumer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/capitalism-theory\/\">capitalism<\/a><\/strong> (the supermarket and fast food); this was its biggest evolutionary achievement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It adapted to machines by growing straighter and closer together.<\/li><li>It increased its yield.<\/li><li>It adapted to petro-chemical fertilizers from fossil fuel.<\/li><li>It developed a tolerance for synthetic chemicals (pesticides).<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the history of corn?
