A Million Dollar Question

This might sound weird but I was thinking about this earlier when I was eating corn. I was thinking if you were given the chance to eat nothing but only corn for the whole year, would you do it for one million dollars. Also, you can't drink anything but corn. Anything you swallow has to be only corn.
The offer is tempting but I'll turn it down because I don't want to make myself sick and being deprived of what I want to eat is a punishment. If I can eat only corn and see other people eating other delicious things, I will 
and it will be hard for me to restrain myself. I want to enjoy myself, not make myself suffer.
So will you accept the offer or decline?

The answer would be a "NO." First to enjoy your one million you have to be living. There is no problem eating corn. The Mayans, Aztec, people in South America have done that, even the natives of North America. The problem is drinking corn. You cannot drink corn, the moisture content of corn is negligible. Unlike let say a watermelon. By drinking corn alone, you will die of dehydration. So the answer would be "NO."

Can we lessen the deal down to 500,000 dollars if you allow me to drink water and eat corn for a year? I guess that won't be bad at all. If I drink water and then eat corn, with control, then maybe I can survive especially if I will be allowed o drink and you will be supplying me a year of corn... then I guess why not.

lol. I was thinking of corn in a can which does contain fluid in it. You can have all the corn on the cob you want and all the canned corn you want, all the liquid is in there.

Yes, but there's a religion that requires their followers to fast. Now that's torture!

Well my friend you won't get enough fluid and eventually die. The million dollars are tempting though...

Hello, jokerzhunter. I did not make myself clear. I was thinking of eating whole corn on a cob and drinking canned corn which does contain fluid in it. So will you do it for a million dollars in that case?

A million dollar is still a big amount...maybe if it was more?

I don't think I will accept such offer. Imagine smelling like corn for a whole year (your breath and fart), your sweat might taste like corn as well hehe. I think I will be sick eating corn alone. But if I will be allowed to drink water then I might reconsider hahaha.

I love corn but not enough to only eat that for a year to win 1 million dollars. I love to many other different foods. Plus not to be able to drink would probably not be good for our health. Now if you said drink only water and chocolate I would really think about that one. That might be worth a 1 million dollars to me.

To stay alive you need to get the vitamines and minerals, proteins , colhydrates and all the important things your body needs to make your cells work well for your sustainable health. I used to eat oat porridge every day for lunch during four years. But as a dinner I had vegetable and other needed food to get all it's needed for a normal fuctional body. So you have to eat more than just corn.
Let's say you eat corn every day for lunch during 3 years for a million dollar.

This one is kind of tricky. I think I have to decline. I know I can't stand eating the same kind of food the whole year round. I'd just rather try to earn that million dollars in a year rather than gain it by compromising my health. I may not even enjoy the prize money because I might get sick and psychologically be affected after the challenge. Also, I might use the prize pot only to fix my taste buds after eating so much corn.

It is an impossible mission. Even if you gonna increase the prize to a billion dollar bucks, i dont think anyone out there would take the challenge.Corn and corn alone? No water? Even the chicken which are used to feed corn would still take some water;)))

Eating and drinking corn only for a year - Can make me sick - Thus, I have to be hospitalized - I have to pay two million dollars for hospital fee, including how to treat my malnutrition, dehydration, or so 
A million dollar wouldn't be enough, so I will decline
A million dollar wouldn't be enough, so I will decline

I don't think it would be worth it as eating it for that long would likely KILL you. There are not enough vitamins and nutrients.. and well much of anything that will allow you to SURVIVE off corn for a whole year.
now if it was for just a week or something.. Maybe. LOL :)

What do you think anyone can survive corn for one year? Forget the prize, if you can confirm to me that, why not to try? But please note our body required nutrients, protien and others which you can get fromother food.
By the way, I can if you can supply me all corn I will need for the whole year, you will cooked for me and produce me a drink from corn - if you can do that half of the prize will be yours.. LOL, Dare...we are team
