"Pharmaceutical corporations are privatizing and patenting the genes of plants to sell for profit," she continues. "It is actually the stealing of plants that were once shared and given as gifts from indigenous farmers throughout 7,000 years of agriculture."

What a bunch of nonsense. Refining natural derivatives extracted from plants is how western medicines are made, it's not "patenting genes", its patenting compounded formulas and methods.

That's like saying everyone should get a fee car because the dirt and rocks supplied all the parts cars are made of, and dirt and rocks were always free for the last 7,000 years or so that we know of that man used them, and shared their knowledge of using dirt and roacks.

They are patenting the seeds of natural plants that they never grew!

I suppose Monsanto has a right to patent their GMO soybean seeds, but they should not have the right to patent heirloom seeds to control the food supply and limit choices as to what farmers can plant. That’s what she is saying. Read the other posts on this thread and I’d like to hear back what you think.

Our country is allowing itself to be controlled by the fascist democrat party and its allies in the media and big businesses that donate to them.
