   hi connie.

   do you know that japanese corn is grown locally?
   and that it needs a lot of chemicals to grow. what’s worse is that when the fruit is half its mature state, the farmers sprinkle “furadan” (a purple colored powder that is a systemic chemical banned in all developed countries because it’s actually poison that is absorbed by plants/fruits) on the the top of the fruit itself(the husk is opened a little).

   no japanese corn can grow big without furadan because philippine insects and pests love it.

   i know about it, because i know a lot of farmers who grow japanese corn. and they all tell me not to eat it.

   before i forget, they also use furadan( 1tsp furadan mixed with a cup of food) to kill their neighbors’ too playful dogs and cattle that too often stray to their rice paddies.
