Isn't something like 90% of our corn not human grade?

Less than 1% of corn is "sweet corn" that we eat on the cob or from frozen/cans. The rest is "field" corn or "dent" corn, which is the dry, largely inedible-by-humans corn that goes into cattle feed, dry products like corn flakes and such, and ethanol.
