George's response to the US caller sounds like a great clip

well luckily i haven't had one for years, and never will be again. just goes to show the weird stuff they put into food now days - i see a couple of good documentaries a while back on food and hows it grown, one was called 'the future of food' but i can't remember the other - but they were both fascinating, and scary really. they was on about genetically modified food, and especially about one company called monsanto - their one of the main seed and fertilizer companies in the world, the have these genetically modified seeds that then need their brand of feed and pesticide at different stages of the plants growth - i think there was something forced into iraq to make them use monsanto stuff. they've developed whats called terminator seeds that don't produce new seeds, so farmers can't use them like they have done forever- they will lock all the poor farmers into paying at every stage. their genetically modified stuff crosses with natural strains in the wild, seeds get blown about and cross into other farms - because monsanto own the dna patent to them, in america there have been a number of legal cases where monsanto then claims the farmers land as their own! even if its on a tiny number of plants that got crossed with their genetically modified strain! who knows what will happen later down the line ... once its all out in the wild everywhere ...

Yep .. Monsanto accused the farmers of theft for doing what they normally do : Harvest the seed from their existing crop for next season.

just think, the burgers that Galloway suggested this guy stuffs his face with would prbably be more expensive if it wasn't for Monsanto.

I have a friend in Texas. She's the nicest right-wing moron you could hope to meet.
