65. Monopolizing FOOD is extracting super high profits for something
which the competition would be growing it in your backyard, and then GMO'ing it so that you CAN"T grow it in your backyards is the same thing as privatizing the water companies in South America and passing a law that makes it illegal to collect rainwater in a bucket on your roof.

DUHHHHH!!!!!!!!

We are not talking about making a pair of jeans and then trying to make a profit by making your jeans better than everyone else's in a wold in which you can also wear shorts, a skirt, buy something at the used clothing store, or make something for yourself at home.

We're talking about extracting profits from things that people don't have a choice about consuming, and, thanks to GMO, might not be able to grow for themselves.

You really didn't know this was the other side of the argument? Yeah, NPR is doing a great job of presenting both sides of the argument.

Thanks for proving my point.
