Now, I?m sure there?s a whole bunch of scientific argument that can be ranged against me here.

But sweetcorn keeps really well. It can sit in my fridge for a week and still tastes great. And we have very fast aeroplanes and a worldwide trade shipping system and lots of other gadgets.

In the superb documentary ?Baghdad ER? they are amazed by how an injured US soldier can get from an Iraqi roadside bombsite to a hospital in Germany in 10 hours.
