Just a few weeks ago young Mr. Tariq reminded the world of just how darn good corn really is:
The leaders of South Dakota, meanwhile, were so impressed with this young boy's enthusiasm for corn that they gave him an official title to match his passion:
Everything changed for 7-year-old Tariq when he slapped some butter on an ear of corn. He knew it tasted good, but butter made it better. His passion for produce landed him a sweet gig last Saturday as South Dakota's official Corn-bassador. ...
"Whereas, South Dakota is one of the top corn producers in the nation, providing nourishment across the globe but especially to Tariq, a 7-year-old boy who recently discovered that corn was real," the governor's declaration reads, "... it is fitting and proper as Governor to make special note of outstanding young man."
Ambassador Tariq has apparently been having the time of his life as the state's newest corn dignitary:
Congratulations, Tariq! May your service as ambassador be prosperous and corny!
