Do you eat corn? Yes? Well, have I got a movie for you. Have fun sleeping after this, corn-lover!

Slow Food High Desert is screening King Corn tonight at COCC – Grandview Hall at 6:30 p.m.  You’ll learn all sorts of facts about genetically modified seeds, the fast-food industry’s addiction to corn, harmful fertilizers and pesticides, and a giant evil cornstalk that comes out at night and hunts children. Okay, not that last part. But the other stuff is pretty scary too.

The film will be screened as part of Slow Food High Desert‘s monthly potluck and film night, so bring a dish to share. One caveat: don’t use corn. Duh.
