Listics

According to yesterday’s Guardian, "…Canada wants all
governments to accept the testing and commercialisation of ‘terminator’
crop varieties. These are genetically engineered to produce only

infertile seeds which farmers cannot replant."

There is only one reason for the development of these terminator seed strains: corporate profit.  The risks associated with terminator strain genetic drift into the general food seed stock are huge.   The  business model that cuts off the marginal operation from maximizing it’s own investment in seed stock is cruelly exploitative.  The narrowing of edible options for a growing population is culturally demeaning.

But if you like an exclusive diet of iceberg lettuce and white corporate tomatoes, you’ll love terminator crop varieties.  Monsanto manufactures these seeds.  I understand that General Motors owns Monsanto.  And everyone knows that what’s good for GM is good for the world.

What the hell.  The contaminated air will kill us long before we starve from the food value free terminator crops.
