Corn is bad to eat. It takes up way too much land to grow when other food is needed more.

No. Corn is a grain -- like wheat, oats, rice, rye, etc. All grains are plants. Vegetables are also plants -- as are fruits and legumes.

Yes. It's a grain, a cereal, a grass. But it's eaten as a vegetable, and also it belongs to the vegetable kingdom, meaning it's not animal or mineral.
