corn-fed
Fattened on grain
Corn-fed describes livestock fattened on corn rather than grass, producing richer, more marbled meat.
Applied to people, it suggests someone raised in America's rural Midwest—wholesome, sturdy, and well-nourished, often with an implication of naïveté or unsophistication: a corn-fed farm boy, She had that corn-fed look about her.
