The moves by big ag in partnership with big government (e.g., S.510) to monopolize farming is one. The regulation racket by big corporates against small business is one of the worst kinds of rackets. Older varieties of plants (often lower yielding) are likely generally stronger—more resistant to disease, etc. The bio-genetic wizards can’t see every possibility in advance, and only one mishap could cause a worldwide famine.

...another. I can grow more per acre in a small operation and maintain soil better. Big operations are a waste of soil.

Uh, huh. Are you also upset with the green revolution, brought on by genetic modification and big ag, even though it saved somewhere in the neighborhood of a billion people from starvation? You never clarified your position on that one.

So plants are less resistant to disease after they've been genetically modified to become more resistant to disease? That's not how it works. LOL.

Yes, those bio-engineers are so myopic that their efforts have only resulted in more than a billion people being spared from the ravages of starvation. Bastards! I think those who live in the rational world will take their chances with that potential mishap given the results of their work so far.
