EUROPE: "Haha, silly primitives! Look at them hulling this 'maize' stuff with their primitive technologies! We have MACHINES to do that!"

ALSO EUROPE: "Hey, let's take a bunch of this 'maize' back to Europe and eat it, without bothering to talk to the locals about it first, since everything basically belongs to us and we're smarter than everybody!"

ALSO ALSO EUROPE: "Hey, let's die in heaps because we never learned about nixtamalization, we aren't getting any niacin out of this snazzy new food, and now we all have pellagra!"

ALSO ALSO ALSO EUROPE *STILL*: "Man, I can't believe how much more sophisticated we are than everybody else."

ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO EUROPE (AND ITS KIDS) STILL: "Let's base our entire diet around maximizing corporate profit and discover bold new health problems nobody has ever seen before!"
