Maggots? I don't think so! At least know what creepy crawly you're talking about, please. And I don't know that worms are that selective that I would base my choice of corn on theirs.

Regards to the list:

 

I am suspicious of corn with no worms. Not that I like the worms, but I figure if they will eat the corn, then it must be OK.

As a consumer I buy my corn from my neighbor, but I also understand that if you simply stopped spraying all those acres with pesticides because it was Bt, that HAS to have some sort of positive impact...maybe not?  I honestly do not know.  I'd like to see a consumer that does not care about maggots in the ear of their corn...when I was a kid that was my job, break off the ears with the maggots in 'em before they wen't into the pot.
