rbakker might want to look up the case of the Canadian wheat farmer who was bankrupted after being forced to plow under his grain crop which had become contaminated by wind pollination from a GMO. He was taken to court by monsanto for theft because he saved seed from each year's crop to plant the next. They claimed he had "stolen" their genetic material and should not be allowed to save seed since he couldn't guarantee his crop was free from "their" genetic material. He tried to claim trespass from their pollen but lost. This is about our future food security and the possibility of a few corporations controlling ALL our food supplies on a global basis.
