the REAL reason Americans eat sweet corn as a staple is really fucking sad
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 5th, 2026 3:21 PM Author: Chrome doctorate theater stage Indians never grew sweet corn as a staple. They considered it an oddity that was only used on ceremonial occasions to make sweets. They ate hundreds of varieties of maize and only a few were sweet corn.
The problem is that by the time Europeans arrived here, they were already hooked on sugar from Asia. They kept asking these American Indians "what's good to eat around here" and Indians kept giving them all this maize, but it never worked. The Europeans never said "oh thank you, this is great" until some tribe noticed their sugar addiction and offered them some sweet corn. It was at that point that Europeans finally came to love maize, and now it's ILLEGAL to use other varieties of maize for anything but animal feed and home decor |

people eat unprocessed sweet corn as a meal because it tastes good, unlike a mouth full of bland starch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization
Mexicans do that shit to their corn. It's necessary in order to make it nutritious. However you can't find any nixtamalized corn products at Kroger or Safeway or even Whole Foods. Go ahead and try. 100% of the corn we eat is processed some other way.
That's why 100% of our tortillas taste like dogshit. We had to invent flour tortillas to compensate for the shittiness of our corn tortillas, which crumble and fall apart as soon as they touch moisture. |

America has a thing for corn, going back to the first Thanksgiving in 1621, a meal the Pilgrims organized specifically to celebrate their first successful corn harvest. That’s how big a deal corn was.
