Today I Learned

Ten years ago, corn stalks were 13 feet tall.

Now they're about 5 feet - and each plant is putting out 3 times as many kernels.

3x

Hacking the genome of corn (aka: they GMO'd that motherfucker), makes for a plant that can put more of its energy into producing the food instead of making the stuff we can't eat.
