Answer:

The crows prefer farmer's corn.

In ''Fame is a Fickle Food'', Emily Dickinson represents fame as a food type, thus illustrating the effect that it has on people.

Fame is represented as 'fickle' and frequently changing, although it is a solid object in this poem. As fame is not something that people should devote their attention to in real life, the crows in the poem prefer corn over it. Even though they are animals that just want to relieve hunger, they understand that fame is not filling.
