In fact, they are already modifying food sources so they do not reseed so that farmer need to repurchase. Eventually, if they have their way, they will control the food supply.

Now that would be an interesting subject, for sure.
All of the processed food boxes, etc. have such a LONG list of "additives" and such.....that in reality should NOT be there at all.
We've watched several documentaries on CORN and other such commonly used ingredients. CORN is in everything !!!
Having a family member whose parent formed and ran a HUGE agricultural pesticide/herbicide type chemical corporation that sold to farmers all over our U.S. and the world, it's interesting to see this young person SHUN totally anything "artificial" as pertains to our food source. They are meat eaters but only organically grown.
Believe it or not, young couples in our state and other states are now RAISING their own "laying hens".....chickens for the purpose of the daily egg collection........others are raising chickens for meat sources.
It's a new trend I guess.......but we've seen it in action.
We also know young (twenty somethings to thirty +) couples who are making their own cleaning products to keep their progeny safe from harmful chemicals.
Like our moms used vinegar and water to clean, etc.
