    Default Syngenta Wants to Own the Patent on the Rice You Eat!

    Monsanto, the Evil Giant, now has an evil twin. I truly believe they would like to see the day when not one person on this earth can grow anything without sending them money first. Read about it here .

    Thanks for that Dianne, I've subscribed to their newsletter. I find this kind of information overwhelming but I'd rather know about it than not know about it.

    You're welcome, Adam. Some of the information isn't always mainstream so I wonder how well researched it is. Then I ask myself how well researched the information of mainstream newspapers/magazines/television shows are, considering they are owned by large corporations. Pulling our heads out of the sand means that we are at risk of being hit by a large brick of information sometimes. I only wish more people would open their eyes (especially here in the U.S.)

    Truely shocking. And good point, Di.

    Does anyone know anything about the people who tried to patent Basmati rice, i am not sure of the details and would be interested to know more. Wasn't their plan scuppered???
    My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
