(28,979 posts)Most Americans can't name a single strain of Asian rice and the country of origin yet people like you set yourself up as an expert in all things rice-related because you believe Monsanto should be free to force farmers to buy a single strain of non-Asian rice as the answer to Asia's "problems." Who asked for your paternalistic solutions?
Do you not see how you look to people who did not ask for your "help"? My family grows rice from seed saved from the previous growing season as they have for generations (my mother can name 15 generations on the same farms). They have developed their own rice which they are not forced to pay a penny to Monsanto for growing.
You insist they must change based on your superior "culture," the same one that brought us so many other wonderful concepts like Euro racial superiority, smallpox infected blankets for Indians, eugenics, manifest destiny, imperialism etc.
