   Every few years a new 'superfood' trends, but the only two superfoods are corn and potato.

   Everything we eat is rooted in either corn or potato. You think our economy is rooted in oil? It's rooted in high fructose corn syrup and potato starch.

     The best way to store potatoes is to bury them. In a few months you'll somehow have even more potatoes.

     @Craigp corn in everything is very much a US phenomenon. It can do weird things to stomachs that aren’t used to it (from experience)😬

     I guess wheat and rice aren't too bad. They store a lot better, for starters.

     @sinbad Corn is very much an Americas thing. Even before we arrived and murdered everyone and turned it into syrup, it was the magic staple of this hemisphere.

     Yeah I'd prefer if we didn't have such a shitty, strange food thing happening, but corn was always gonna be the focus on this hemisphere.

     @Craigp I don’t know that it’s necessarily worse than anyone else’s staple, although I guess it is more processed these days
