Relying on "gigantic corporations" for food, he said, would result in "absolute disaster".
"That would be the absolute destruction of everything... and the classic way of ensuring there is no food in the future," he said.
Snip.."If they think this is the way to go....we [will] end up with millions of small farmers all over the world being driven off their land into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness."

All agriculture has always been about genetic modification.

You must be thinking of King Edward VII’s eldest, Albert Victor. He was a real piece of work.

It's a good thing Charles has his mother and the state to care for him.
At least three-fourths of everything this moron eats has been genetically modified in some way.

Thank God the United States not only was established on a republican basis, but specifically forbade American citizens from obtaining titles of nobility by means of the Constitution. It is also fortunate that in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the British Parliament restrained the power of the monarchy. As bad as that nation's Labour Party is, it would be worse off with Charles as an absolute monarch in the manner of the Stuarts or the Tudors.
