"The only thing corn is good for is tracking one’s digestive process."

We call them 'Corn Races'

Nothing can stop that beast from spreading his seed.

'We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies,' said Epicyte president Mitch Hein.

Since it's a form of poison that spreads like a contagious disease--shouldn't it simply be destroyed? Like, now?

“Ask Mom to buy you some today!”

So you don’t get any more brothers or sisters.

Corn pollen travels a long way on the wind. They’re growing in temperature controlled air tight greenhouses, right?

No, of course not, just a long way from other crops. It’s fine.

If this spreads into the food supply like Covid, you are looking at an Extinction-Level Event.

Come soon, Lord Jesus!

Yup, corn is wind pollinated. Safe distance to prevent cross pollination is 1500 feet. The wind would cross pollinate Monsanto’s GMO corn with the non GMO corn in the next field, then Monsanto would sue them into oblivion for having Monsanto genetics in their corn, unless of course that farmer was willing to get on the GMO bandwagon and grow corn for Monsanto.

Baker Creek aka rareseeds.com used to guarantee GMO free corn but they gave up because it’s impossible because GMO has spread everywhere. This Epicyte sperm killer corn could literally be a population killer.

Wonder what it does to male dogs, cats and other animals? Corn is the first ingredient in all the cheap brands of dog food and the #2 ingredient in most all the rest. Could be a mammal killer.

A lot of hunters put corn out to attract the deer.

Seems like anyone who’s gotten a degree in the past 2-3 decades is insane/evil. Doctors, lawyers, scientists, all taught USA bad, people bad.

Same type of people that came up with the wholesome idea of humanized mice for their lab experiments. Just shave off a little of that fresh fetus liver for one ingredient. Works great.

I wonder if it does the same to other mammals?

I would say this mad scientist thing is a new trend but it isn’t. In the 40s-50s, Quaker Oats gave radioactive oats to boys in state facilities, poorhouses as part of a MIT experiment.

In the late 1800s to early 1900s, the eugenicists had charts showing the facial characteristics of the “undesirables”.
