Fritos, the corn chip, are made from a mixtureof re-fried beans and corn.  Corn and beans are essentially the sameproduct, the former being treated with Yellow Dye #57 to improve theunsightly brown bean color.  This is why midwestern farmers often grow cornand beans on the same acreage.  It&#8217;s also why dogs are so rarely seenwalking in either corn or bean fields.  Their feet would begin to mate withthe nearby plants and the dog would be found lying on its back dead, it&#8217;s pawsstretched in four different directions.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"q2\" src=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\" alt=\"QuestionImage\" width=\"75\" height=\"91\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Why do dog&#8217;s feet smell like Fritos? <span class=\"pgee-read-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/archives\/828\"><br><br>---\u00a0Here&#39;s the answer from Dr. Science<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-question-questions-submitted-by-dr-science-readers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
