I planted my small garden as usual and noticed that it seemed to be harder to find heirloom plants. May just be my area though.
The GM plants scare me and I am usually fearless cause I am not too smart but just smart enough to read all these stories of too many people in the world today and connect the dots.
I have noticed people my age and quite a few much younger dropping dead or slowly dying of cancer. I suspect something evil is afoot. Course, aside from being not to smart I am also a little crazy.
Heirloom seeds and heirloom plants breed true. Many families in my area save their seeds that their forefathers brought over from Europe and often gift friends with them. Not uncommon in my area for this to happen. Course they distrust the government and their lapdog business partners just like I do.

Somewhere in my freezer, I believe I have some seeds that were my grandmothers'...I'm 70 so they are pretty old. I don't know if they'll germinate after all these years.

Don't buy the crap that there are too many people in the world. If you take the population of the world and stuck them in Texas they would all have about a thousand square feet. That is just Texas. Google it and you will see.

If capitalism was allow to run it's course we have more than enough to feed and house the current population and many many more people.

The problem I see with the pigs is that they are not allowed to run on dirt and get the beneficial bacteria they need. These big farms just pack them in on concrete in very small pens and the bad bacteria builds up till the problems start. Does not matter how well you clean it bacteria will breed faster than the pigs can combat it. Spread them out some and let mother nature fight the disease.
