The EU is mad anyway, but not over seeds so much as their spending habits. In Canada we save our seeds and we have university and Fed Gov’t inventories of seeds etc going back to Pioneer days. I believe there are seed varieties dating from the times of the Woodland Indians, the Longhouse Peoples. I don’t think we need panic about big industry taking over the world. The little guy will always survive in the long run. But we should still listen to what you say!!!

With Monsanto killing off crops that are not GMO resistant to their pesticides and fertilizers that could be a hard road. Seeds need to be grown periodically in order to harvest new ones before they are no longer viable and will not sprout. Just saving them won’t work. And if we can’t grow them without being killed by companies like Monsanto, they will be lost. Canada is, more and more, following the lead of the U.S. where Monsanto has the entire agriculture industry, and the government in an iron grip which is spreading to Africa and the rest of the world.

Yvonne, thank you for sharing the video and webpage. I wish everyone would see it and read about Monsanto and how they are trying to take over the world. Those who control the seed, controls the food; those who control the food, controls the world. Monsanto is evil.
This should terrify every individual and make them stand up and work together to bring about change, but it doesn’t. The average person won’t see the implications of their ignorance until it is too late. The world will be a very different place in 30 years. Millions will starve and millions more will have disease that have never before been heard of.
What people don’t realise is that millions are already starving; starving for nutrition.
People are too busy to pay attention, and they don’t want to know because then they have to act; they have to do something. They’d rather watch television, or go shopping or ‘hang out’.
I have gathered organic, non-GMO seeds to plant, and plant more each year. This was part of the driving force to start my own homestead with gardens and small livestock. I don’t want to eat the poison they are serving up as food in grocery stores. Soy, corn and canola are in almost everything even though they don’t need to be. I own sheep, I don’t want to be one.
What are we leaving behind for our grandchildren? Death, starvation, disease and unknown things that we can’t even imagine yet.

Than you Diane. I just hope that Monsanto loses the law lobby now before congress in the U.S. They have so many governors in their pockets. Another eye opener are the movie, or book, Food Incorporated or Food Inc. dealing with the other end of the problem – how our meats are grown. We buy only grass fed beef and lamb, drug free chicken and free range eggs. I also have asmall organic garden grown from heritage seeds. But my back yard is tiny, so my garden has to match. What i can’t grow I try to buy local or,failing that, at least organic. Poverty prevents many from taking even these small steps, but if we all voiced our concerns instead of acting like helpless sheep we might actually see some action. Sorry if that’s a rant folks. This is so important.

Monsanto has people in very high places; I can’t understand why others in the government don’t try and shut them down. But then money talks.
I’ve seen Food Inc. and The World According to Monsanto. Scary stuff.
Poverty is no excuse. Everyone has the power to do something even if it is small. If we start excusing people because of things–poverty, too busy, no space–then nothing gets done. We all must pay the price in the end however if we sit back and let this happen.
Rant away, Yvonne. We need more rants every day to get people to notice. The more I learn about our food and what goes in it, the more I want to cut my ties with grocery stores and grow my own, and the more I realise why so many people are sick and diseases are becoming more popular.

I also just found out that Monsanto is the (I believe ‘sole’) trustee of the World Seed Bank? What does that tell you? Very scary.
