[ Permalink ] ![]() Film & Discussion: King CornThursday September 25, 2008: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm -- Downtown Library: 4th Floor Meeting RoomBehind America’s dollar hamburgers and 72-ounce sodas is a key ingredient that quietly fuels our fast-food nation: corn. Recent college graduates Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis leave the east coast for rural Iowa, where they decide to grow an acre of the nation’s most powerful crop. They find that America’s most subsidized crop has become the staple of its cheapest – and most troubling – foods. Join the discussion after the film led by UM Community Scholars.
