Added: Monsanto licenses you seeds, you are not even allowed to grow them once (i. e. you are not allowed to use next-generation seeds). And GM plants might be more adapted, and start displace the “natural” ones. And they are all owned by Monsanto.

I think I'll give it a go. Cheers :)


In dubio it's also fiscal responsible of the genetic license giver to remove unwanted organisms? Aka pay for selective herbicides?
