This shit is the cause of a fair bit of anemia and malnutrition in sub Saharan Africa.

Fuck corn.

Edit: there are tons of research articles about how corn meal such as pap/samp or other regional varieties cause iron and micronutrition deficiencies in babies in the area.

Spouting out "bUT tHeY jUsT NeEd to PReParE iT CorReCtly" is so fucking privelaged abelist arm chair scientist that it's insane.

Fortification helps, but that doesn't happen in a lot of places that grow and process their own corn.

Not everyone gets to go to the corner store and buy their corn in a fucking bag.

Corn is a shit food, your body doesn't even process it well and it has an actual impact on rural populations nutrition and development because of this.
