In this crowd-pleasing documentary, two college friends decide to explore the origins of the food on their plates the hard way: by growing it themselves. After discovering the prevalence of corn in the American diet (thanks largely to corn syrup and meat raised on corn), Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis attempt to raise their own crop in rural Iowa.
