On the left is what maize/corn looked like around 3000 years ago. Ingenious creatures that we are decided to randomly mix genetic material from related species and hey presto, after a couple centuries out pops the form we are used to seeing (on the right). So you see, in a logical argument the corn we eat is most certainly genetically modified  | |

Thanks for that infomation DNAMan. However, I would have to say that the corn your image shows was brought about by crop domestication and classical plant breeding.
What I am really interested to know is, if the corn we are eating has been modified to include the Bt gene (a gene from a bacteria that makes a toxic that prevents bugs from eating the corn), or other genes.
