Yeah, but from what I've been reading on here, it's not just a matter of
having a different kind of corn now, but that corn never did grow in the wild at all. Like, there never were any wild poodles either, we bred them from other animals. There are lots of plants that are hybrids and never existed in the wild, (don't people win awards at flower shows for breeding new types of flowers?) and apparently corn is one of them.

I did and it appears that the natives of this continent cultivated it. It
didn't say they "created" it. In , The Queen of Cans and Jars stated | FOB wrote: | || Isn't that true of most of our grains and vegetables?

Subject: All sugars the same? Natural and man made?

I was just looking at a corn poster today. (yeah, some people have weird decorating ideas) It showed all kinds of corn, dating back centuries. Maybe it wasn't 'always' here, but it's been around for a long time. Not that it looked anything like our corn today.
