I suppose we could appoint

Home grown is just fine with me as long as we have dna tests and stuff. I mean what if the farmer/gardener is some sort of freak and has sex with the carrots or something?

I want to be safe when I eat my food.

Which is primarily the reason for staying away from diners, now deli's are okay but I cannot for the life of me see what those cooks are doing in the back...you know what I mean?

And how do I know that these farmer/gardeners don't dally in things like arsenic attempting to poison all those dalliers at the farmers markets and such.

just a thought

This is all just too plain

I believe they complained to their neighbors and asked that the GMO canola be removed.

Sure, I get that they'd be a target. But how the heck would Monsanto know "Ok, today they have only thier own genetics" and then later "Hey, our genetics made it in! Let's go get 'em!"

Watch King Corn. Any farmer

In reply to Thanks. I do software also.

Watch King Corn. Any farmer who harvests their own seeds is automatically considered suspect by Monsanto and their ilk.
