This is a documentary.
2 College Age Kids leave their cocoon of the northeast and head to Iowa to grow an Acre of Corn. They don't have any prior knowledge on what it takes to do this deed, but they learn after a little education that it won't take much effort. Most of the film is them wasting time until the corn is harvested. They do determine that most if not all the corn grown in Iowa is not for actual consumption but for use as byproducts. Their dna findings from their hair samples found that corn was a large part of who they actually were. This is the interesting part, every processed chip, fast-food burger, french fry, non-grain fed animal and soda pop leaves is made by part of corn. Cows, Chickens that are grained fed eat corn, which are plump when the butcher is a calling, hence showing up to your local fast-food resort.
I found their results to be fairly disturbing about our fast-food nation and processed food in general. In all their movie was decent, and worth watching. Surprisingly, it was not politically slanted ripping on the republican party, a first for most documentaries that I have watched. They do bring up the fact that ethanol uses a large percent of the corn grown in Iowa, which helps fuel an industry, pardon the pun.
More Awesomeness, Less Filler Rating: 7.0/10.0 Stars
