Two recent college graduates embark on a mission to see where America’s food comes from—by growing it. In the rural town of Greene, Iowa, the two friends plant a single acre of the nation’s most powerful crop, and then set out to follow it from a seed to the dinner plate.

As University of Virginia professor, Steve Macko explains,
this carbon doesn’t come from eating corn-on-the-cob, it’s
mostly from the many chemically-engineered, corn-based
additives in the US food supply, such as High Fructose
Corn Syrup (HFCS).
