THE EMPIRE OF CORN; TUESDAY 6-7PM

A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES - Corn: that most American of grains. These days corn is feed, fuel and ubiquitous sweetener, the biggest of business and some say the core of an industrial food system that's unhealthy for people, livestock and soils. Join us as we trace corn's origins back to Mesoamerica and conduct a forensic exam on the hybridized, genetically modified corn we know today.

This Week's Guests:
Aaron Woolf, Director of King Corn
Ricardo Salvador, Associate Professor of Agronomy at Iowa State University
Mark Muller, Director of Environment and Agriculture at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy
Steve Ettlinger, Author of Twinkie, Deconstructed
