Independent Lens . KING CORN | PBS
This bookmark is not so much to recognize the value of this source, but rather the subject of the film itself. There is room for a Progressive Era lesson that traces the policies of the Progressive Era (Pure Food and Durg Act, Meat Inspection Act) in which students wrestle with the interest and role of the government in the health of citizens and the Agricultural Act of 1973, in which corn subsidies can be linked to a change in American diets that emphasize corn syrup sweeteners and obesity. Is there a link here?
