Why did Khrushchev like corn so much? Is it because you like to eat?

Khrushchev likes corn not because he likes to eat it, but because he is learning from the United States, so he planted corn on a large scale to show his merits and strength.

Extended data:

The Corn Movement was initiated by Khrushchev, the former Soviet Prime Minister, during the reform period. It is said that Khrushchev wants to learn from the United States and grow corn on a large scale. Khrushchev decided to plant corn all over the Soviet Union regardless of the geographical and climatic factors of the Soviet Union.

In the process of popularizing corn planting, Khrushchev neglected the most basic thing-the natural environment in which corn grows. The Soviet Union has a vast territory and a very different climate. Corn suitable for planting in Ukraine is difficult to grow on the ice sheet in Siberia. Khrushchev never thought about it. In order to accomplish the impossible corn planting task, agricultural leaders in some places did not hesitate to cheat and set off a bragging wind.

However, due to the poor geographical conditions (mainly temperature and light) in the Soviet Union, corn hardly bears "sticks", coupled with the corruption of state organs and the purchase of big "sticks" from abroad to fool the Prime Minister, the corn movement eventually failed.
