And, if they were honest - snort - they would see the further point in substituting “food system” with “health care system” in noting that control of such a huge majority of an industry by a single entity - in this case the Federal government - is detrimental to Americans.
If they were honest.

What we need is the court to rule that incidental cross pollination of crops that are not genetically modified with those that are represents an Act of God and thereby invalidates the patent claims for whatever seed results from that crop.

Profit? Fine, but when they go buying politicians and bureaucrats and writing legislation they become your masters.

I’m all in favor of limiting the government to those powers explicitly delegated to it in the Constitution.
The problem is not that congressmen and bureaucrats are corrupt and can be bought. The problem is that they’re worth buying.

Their agenda is to turn off the water, California for example, not being able to grow crops, and obuma will blame green house gases for this...
Meantime, FEMA is ready for all of us to beg the government for food, look at Venezuela for an example, that is what is coming here, to us, prepare folks, prepare now...

The danger is, as we know, no elitist is anywhere NEAR as smart as he thinks he is.
Thus there is a high probability they will screw-up and engineer a global famine by accident.
To: Tilted Irish Kilt
The Chinese can wait till our food supply is all one monopoly.
Then control that.
