When one thinks of the human species as a whole, they are engrossed by all our species has developed and created. Technological advances such as smartphones, robotic creations sent to space and neighboring planets, and extremely well designed military weapons. As well as humans amazing gift of manipulation, which we so highly pride our self with. Our “cunning” ability to manipulate biological factors such as eradicating diseases with vaccines, or drastically increasing the world’s food supply by way of mass production of meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, or fruits according to our “needs”. Investigative Journalist Michael Pollan discredits what humans believe to be their “superiority over evolution and nature” in his published insightful and controversial findings: The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Pollan brings to light the dark and foul truth as to how our food products is brought to us. One of his most profound discovery was linking all of our “diverse abundance of food choices” back to one single crop which the basis of it all: corn. Due to human’s overly prideful and pompous views on their ability to provide large arrays of food products whenever we see fit, we have become blind to what has now become the most biologically and technologically advanced species: Corn. Indigenous to the South and Central Americas, corn is the most utilized, manipulated, and chemically altered crop in the United States. As Pollan puts it,” Corn’s triumph is the direct result of overproduction” (118). Corn fields only account for a small portion of farmland in the United States, yet we grow it by the hundreds of thousands each day. This massive unnecessary production of the crop is then fed to cattle whose native source of food supply is grass, chickens who have also been injected with excessive amounts of steroids, and to fish who would never ingest the highly caloric carbohydrate crop if not fo
