Ill admit to being a bit paranoid about food. Im frustrated at all the chemicals and concoctions manufacturers put in or on it. I got really freaked out when I read that zucchini is now mostly GM in the US. It got me wondering how many other things were going to be had been slipped in that I didnt know about.

Thanks for telling me about the terminator seeds. I, for one, hope they never get commercialized. Too many small farmers struggle enough as it is. I watched the oldest family farm in the country go out of business a couple of years ago. Still breaks my heart when I drive by. If only I had a few million kicking around.
