Monsanto gets so much worse than polluting. They tried (succeeded? Not sure) in hooking farmers to only buying their seeds through genetic modification to grow anything. I remember huge protests, then we all sort of moved on.
There’s at least a chance that PepsiCo’s patented potatoes had gotten into the worldwide supply on accident and it really was no fault of these farmers for growing patented food.
Also similarly, varieties of apples are also patented.
Terminator seeds are not GMO, they are regular hybrid seeds. If you’ve ever grown anything from a seed, you’d know the difference between hybrids and heirlooms.
