>I found convincing is that corn is demonic
As someone who worked in one of them fields this sounds interesting
>Corn originated in South America
It originated in Aridarmerica which is around the Southwest US and Northern Mexico, far away from the South of the continent
>back when it was ruled by the Aztec gods
Even if you wanted to say it didn't actually originate in the place but the era where the Aztec ruled, this is still wrong, Aztec Kingdom was strictly in Central America (hence Mesoamerican cultures) and they used corn just like everyone else did, the real problem is when they used it in rituals to cook and eat it refined after lacing it with blood, kinda like jews do with their bread.
>Demanding human sacrifices and preventing them form achieving the technological prowess that they aught to (wheels for toys but not for carts, etc.)
The demand is indeed fishy, the technological prowess is highly debatable as Aztecs were advanced in many fields and even surpassing European prowess in others (agriculture, building foundational construction, building acoustics, astrology, medicine) while grossly behind in others to the point of being just barely ahead africans (textiles, metal, weaponry, maritime navegation).
The wheel argument is a meme because aztec peoples were living in mountainous areas with harsh volcanic soil, the wheel was so impractical that even the spaniards went down using donkeys, mules and horses like the ones before in that region until civil work had razed and made roads centuries after conquering.
The mayans had the same ordeal but in highly-dense jungle environments, not even the brits used the wheel when they had the same lands or similar ones like the amazon jungle.
>All the legends on corns origins concur that it was a gift from these gods (demons)
Not really but it is an archetype
>Now corn is very bad food
Completely and utterly wrong
>the worst factory farmed grain by far
Key here is factory-farmed, when enriched or used in concentration it is indeed bad like most things, do not confuse HF corn syrup with a sweet corn cocktail.
>It's barely digestible to humans
You need to treat it with limestone first, it's a known fact for millennia and even then many european cultures still don't do it and also only eat the sweet corn variant.
>makes you fat and starves you at the same time without even providing any rare or particularly important vitamins
So wrong it's not even funny.
>It's also one of the cornerstones of the Standard American Diet. Corn syrup is actually inescapable in the US
Eat hominy pork stew, corn can be had in many forms and sweet corn is not the only form. Americans should know this for centuries but paradoxically they still don't, even beans have been forgotten in the Standard Diet.

In the Southwest US/Northwest Mexico the dancing messenger injun archetype is quite common, some plains indian ones along with a couple of mesoamerican cultures. It usually means the forthcoming of good news/days, at least in the border desert areas in which the dancing injun appears (Arizonan Kokopelli, Sonoran Deer Man) but they tend to pick other meanings over the years (after conquest and/or missionaries) or heavily focus on others, the Deer Man itself became a tribute to hunting and particularly the prey rather than the forthcoming of something, Kokopelli usually appeared when the crops were halfway into maturing for harvesting, in terms of corn this is around Easter which is often when most of these celebrations occur so missionaries took it from there.
When Euros brought wheat and other winter crops many of these extensive celebrations lost some of their importance because injundom could eat fairly well all year round. Also Rice.
