Corn
When you shop for corn on the cob, do you pull down the husk before you
buy it to look inside? Do you ever reject corn because it doesn't look good? What does "not look good" mean? Why would you reject an ear of corn? |

Why would you reject an ear of corn? Yes and yes. If it's typical yellow corn, I look for kernels that are still whitish, indicating that it's not yet ripe. A good test is to pierce a kernel with your thumb nail. If it squirts juice, it's ripe; If not, it's either premature or dead. |

Why would you reject an ear of corn? Just buy it fresh from the neighbours stand ... any modern road-side stand will have good fresh corn - no need to check., Many years ago, when charged with getting corn for The Family Rebellion - we picked-our-own, without checking - and discovered a lot of worms .. we just cut out the bad parts & it was ok .. I have never seen that in any farm-stands. The other thing to check for is freshness - do the kernels look bursting with freshness ? or a little limp ? We would almost never buy from a grocery store.

I never buy corn at the supermarket. |

Not look good might mean the worms got there first or the ear didn't fill out. I always peel the top of the ear back a little. That is where the worms will usually be, right up by the tassel. I also want to be sure what color it is. A lot of people will shuck it right there in the store, they even have a trash can there just for that but I like to cook it in the husk. These days with all of the chemicals they use, worms and bugs are pretty rare. Back in Maryland with little farms that wasn't the case. Most of the time people would cut the first couple inches off without even looking. They didn't want to know about the worms. |

I also examine the silk. If it's dried up, it's been too long since the corn was picked. Do you ever reject corn because it doesn't look good? Of course. What does "not look good" mean? Why would you reject an ear of corn? Flabby kernels. The thumbnail trick works. Shriveled kernels. Insect damage. Cindy Hamilton |

When I was seeing worms in corn it was an old mom and pop farm where they were not doing a lot of spraying. Back in the 60-70s there were still a lot of ~40 acre farms in PG County. Now that is all houses, strip malls or garden apartments. |

However, chemical methods do seem to work (e.g. a drop of mineral oil on the ear bud suffocates them) and integrated pest management (IPM) techniques developed back in the 80's have also shown good results. |

The biggest advancement against wormy corn has been Genetic Modification - making the corn resistant to corn borer so chemicals are less required. Much of the effective pesticide application is done at the soil level - "band application" - not sprayed on the plant or "slathered on" AN example in corn is "Mustang". |

Ambulance chasing lawyers, running everything from spot ads to half hour infomercials, looking for anyone that used Roundup and has cancer? There on every hour here. Whoever at Bayer decided a year ago to buy Monsanto should get some kind of award. These juries just feel sorry for the poor schmuck with cancer. To me the fact that non-Hodgkins lymphoma rate has not risen in the decades when Roundup use went through the roof and the fact that studies of farmers and their families found no elevated rate of any cancer, strongly suggest those juries didn't know WTF they were doing. Something like 60K people a year get diagnosed and now the lawyers are going to claim that every one of those that can point to some exposure deserves $100 mil. Me, I can't help but think how stupid you have to be to wind up drenched in Roundup, like the janitor in that one case claimed happened many times. |
