Sorry, but........
1. Why does it seem like we will soon be hearing about GMO cocoa, and how it's going to revolutionize everything for the poor Africans. I hope they stick too "traditional plant breeding".
2. IBM connection...... anyone?
3. Howard Yana-Shapiro used to work (or possibly still does) for a very well known organic seed company........ Seeds of Change.
4. $$$ And who owns Seeds of Change?? Mars Inc.
Not necessarily saying don't support Seeds of Change, but if a parent company owns (controls) a large portion of the organic seeds available, and they are dabbling in anything other than "traditional plant breeding", and backed by IBM and the USDA, what is the sum of all of their holdings??
