[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never peel back to check.  No one ever buys those ears afterwards, so it is a huge waste of food.  I buy two extra ears, just in case.

how is this any different?  if you get a bad ear you wouldn't use it.  it's exactly the same as someone discovering in the store the ear is bad and leaving it there.  the only difference is that you pay for bad corn.[/quote]

No, it is not the same.  If you are buying corn at the farmers' market - as I do - then the farmer is losing money since no one will purchase the already peeked-at ears.  And I believe strongly in nurturing our local farms.  I can afford to lose the $.50 for one bad ear.  But people reject okay ears all the time.  People don't buy those rejects, and the farmer loses several dollars.  Entirely different.[/quote]

yea, this is some uninformed liberal guilt stuff.  good for you, but you don't know what you're talking about.  do you have any idea how much that corn cob is subsidized by the government, btw?  don't feel bad for the farmer growing corn.[/quote]
