If I had a child, I’d sure rather have him die of cancer at 80 than starvation at 8.

Truly, truly if they forced us to go back to heirloom seeds we’d be much less healthy and many more would be starving. Just the changes that hybridization has brought has increased yields much less genetically modified.

The only crop I really know about with the GM is cotton, the yields are doubled or more.

I agree 100% It’s just that it is nice to have the heirloom seeds around to go back to! A failsafe if you like!

Cheers
