Leadership requires it and leadership is the only way to hack our way through the GMO threat to our food sources and the sources of food for all animals currently on the earth - a population that is dwindling as I key this comment. Pollen, like Tony, is a leader of the human pack and he deserves to be read. As a long time member of Slow Food and apprecitative of what its international membership has accomplished in just a few years, I encourage anyone interested in the GMO threat to also visit Slowfoodusa.org; read about the RAFT (renewing america's food traditions) and visit a few of the sponsors's websites - American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and Seed Savers are two to savor. Food diversity is our heathy future. Thank you, Tony, for reminding us about this important issue - one that trancends politics and wealth. Jer I believe in Tony’s passion.

Because the resulant seeds from the contaminated crop are now GMO they are technically owned by Monsanto and the farmer must pay for those seeds he saved. Is that insane or what? There's a good video out called The Future of Food which documents the whole evil thing.

A Canadian friend told me that Monsanto sued a farmer who complained that his crops were being contaminated. Monsanto won. We can be grateful we don't have more of the Bush administration. Perhaps sanity will prevail (at least for 4 years) and these monster corporations will be restrained. I have read both books you recommend, and agree with you entirely.
