I would not say corn is mothers natures perfect feed. Nothing eats corn and soy naturally. We just feed corn and soy because it is a cheap supplement that produces desired results in a shorter time.
We feed grain to dogs and cats because it is cheap. We feed grain to horses so we can work them harder. We feed grain to milk cows so they will produce way more milk than their body can handle.
