Answers:
lol!.!. yeah it comes "out" looking pretty whole doesn't it!?
Actually in your mouth's haste to get the food down, your teeth usually miss one or two little kernels, so they end up falling down unchewed!. The outer yellow skin of the kernel isn't easily broken down by our digestive acids alone, so!.!.!.!.they "come out" looking alot like they did when they were still on the plate!
Pretty cool!Www@FoodAQ@Com

lol lol! it's cause we eat so fast, we don't usually chew some of them up before we swallow, and since we don't have the acids/digestive capabilities to break it down like any other food, they usually come up as you eat them!.

same thing for seeds and stuff!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Our body is not able to digest the outside of the kernel of corn, the chewing that is going on is chewing up the inside of the kernel, the outside goes thorugh our body as whole pieces, and leaves the same way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Thats because its bonded with everything else that you had ate and when its all ready to come out it looks like a big brown corn on the cob!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Corn moves through your digestive system faster than your body can digest the outer covering of the kernel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This question again!?!?!? The yellow part of the corn is called the pericarp and it is not digestable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's obvious then that you didn't chew all the nibblets before you swallowed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe because your stomach didn't digest every last kernal!?
hahahahahahaWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's magic!

There are little ants that live inside your belly, and they re-construct the corn to mess with you!. And I see it's worked!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think the ones you see again are the ones your teeth missed on the way in !.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

your not digesting it my husband has the same problem it goes in and comes out the sameWww@FoodAQ@Com

it is some corn that is not chewed that does thatWww@FoodAQ@Com

when you break up the corn kernel (seed) it then starts to grow a new plant inside you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is one "vegetable" that the stomach acids can't break down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

And how is it you know this!? Do you inspect your poop or something for whole corn kernels!? hahahaWww@FoodAQ@Com
