I was thinking that's the direction you went w/ GMOs, not the monopolisation of food supply chains.
Kinda makes me long for the days of the victory gardens, honestly. And don't think I haven't given serious consideration to my own plot.

I have a victory garden and it is amazing how much you can grow in a small space. It saves money, but more importantly, I know where the food is coming from. It may be gm, I have no idea. But next year, I am going to be more careful. Why not when you are doing it yourself. I also live right beside about ten farmer's markets which is amazing. I got involved in this because of the taste of the food and it just kind of spun out of control. Trust me, I am not some kind of wierd food nazi, but we eat better and feel better now.
