How many lives could be saved a year if we all stopped buying products made from corn?

Farming is a dangerous business with accidents with farm equipment, road accidents with the semi's transporting the corn and elevator explosions to name just a few.

Does the benifit of using corn out weigh the deaths caused by it's production?

How or where do you draw the line of deaths vs benifits for any product?

Should there be a line? Who draws the line? If somebody draws a line to others have to follow it.
