had an interesting meeting with a man this morning. He seems to be pretty much up to date on alot of the same issues I have concerns over. He gave me this Canadian site to let us tell our leaders how many of us are against Terminator Seeds in Canada. Just click on the picture to be taken to a site to let your thoughts be known. Terminator seeds are basically seeds which kill off their embryo to prevent it from being planted again to make a next generation. This would sound like a good idea, but the problem is that Terminator seeds are crossing into other varieties and also rendering them sterile and unable to reproduce. That means all corn, rice, wheat, oats, canola and soy.. pretty much all our grain crops could be rendered useless and will die out. This also pertains to wild plants that the Terminator crops cross into . Many of these crops are pollinated by wind, which can go as far as.... well as far as the four winds can blow. Terminator technology takes a massive risk with our food supply, puts poor farmers into a near-servitude relationship with seed salesmen, and benefits only the multinational corporations like Monsanto which promote it. Read about the proposed ban. And please let your thoughts be known. Write to your local papers, talk to your politicians and talk to people so they know what terminator technology is all about.
