She said Monsanto is buying up seeds and we think they are patenting them so they can control the food supply in the future.<<<

I don’t have any knowledge on the true facts, only a couple of ideas.

This past year, there are many many people growing gardens, that did not do so in the past, enough all of a sudden when the rice shortage scare hit, to affect the market supply of seeds.

This sudden interest in food supply, happened all over the world.

And when I don my tinfoil hat, my first thought on Monsanto and seeds is “Yes, they are buying up our heritage seeds, but not to patent them, but rather to get them off the market, so we will be forced to buy their seeds!!!”

Sorry, I am not a Monsanto fan and I cannot tell myself that I am going to be healthy on a tomato with fish dna in it.

Freak foods are fine for freaks, not for me.

LOL, then I hear Dr. Bill Wattenberg, reminding us, that all the plants we have, are from cross breeding. Mother Nature did it.

I guess that I think that Mother Nature, with God’s guidance, will know better which crosses should be made, and not some scientist, who has to keep creating odd stuff, or be out of a job.

OK, you can have the soapbox.

Does Bill Wattenberg have a website, or a radio show? He sounds like an interesting guy. Thanks.
