I plant corn so some of those seeds are indeed bought and paid for by me. If you plant corn it is true for you too
Look I am not against genetically modifiying my food sources. Over the years it has been a good thing giving us stronger, hardier, and even mor nutritious food products. But the truth is I am not interested in a cantalope that never really ripens, or a tomatoe that remains hard. Some of the GM thayt goes on is solely for big agrabusiness profitability not for the improvement of the food or growing it.
Not our seeds? They certainly used to belong to farmers who grew crops and saved seeds. I count myself as at least a customer of those farmers, thus our seeds..
Increasingly, I buy organic. Many people are doing so, with the result that organic produce continues to drop in price.
Monsanto is not your friend, unless you hold their stock. But if you eat food grown from “their” seeds, you may not live long enough to determine the dreadful effect GMO “food” has on people everywhere.
