The document discusses the agriculture diet of Cahokia, which relied heavily on corn. It describes how they grew corn and other crops like tomatoes, wheat, and potatoes. Their diet consisted mainly of corn without much protein. While the agriculture system provided plenty of crops and land for farming, it also had disadvantages like being vulnerable to poor harvests from bad weather and lacking dietary variety and protein.
