I would say corn is grain, and it is used to fatten farm animals prior to slaughter and the yanks use it to make high fructose corn syrup, which is cheap, and probably one of the biggest dietary problems the yanks have.

And no I generally don't eat rice. May be once a month or even less, only on the occasion I might go out for Chinese or something. Probably only had rice once this year that I can think of.

Treat it like alcohol small amouts on the odd social occasion.
 

Rice and corn are both grains.

Yes corn is used to fatten animals. Also used for milk production because it is higher energy than other grains. Anything wrong with that??

HFCS, going to start another argument but what is wrong with it. It contains similar amount of fructose as other sweetener per gram and is sweeter so you need less to get the same effect. So what's so bad about it apart from the calories which all non artificial sweeteners have.
 
Yeah fair enough. Just hadn't occured to me before that rice is actually a grain. Now corn too, here I was tginking it was a vegetable. Not that I deliberately avoid grains or anything.
