I checked. It scans. I put it that way for a reason.
Maybe not a good reason, but a reason nevertheless.

That's kinda the whole point, innit?

I live out in the middle of a corn field. The air's pretty good here
most days.
But sure, there's lots of people with allergies out here too, and the
corn just makes them worse some days.
You like candy bars, breakfast cereal, corn on the cobb, cream corn and
all that corn syrup in your coke, donchya?
But allergies are the worst, aren't they? Maybe there's a better
way--but there ain't NO environmentalists saying we need to stop growing
so much corn. Or, very few, anyway.
And the ones that do are called Evnironmentalcases.
Because Utopia ain't.
You might find that rigorous exercise and eating better will make a
whopping big difference, since most allergies are related to immune
system deficiencies.
It's helped my wife, anyway.
