Yes, that is an old formula that we don't like. Now, what about:

Wealthy industrialists + a ***genuine awakening to the importance of local 
food and local enterprise*** = a potential force for widespread progress

I'm not saying that's necessarily what's going on with the report prepared by 
the Gates foundation, but from glancing at the report, I do feel that it's at 
least a possibility.

I'm not claiming to know the motives of the people at the Gates Foundation 
(or anyone else, for that matter -- even Monsanto). 

I'm just saying that people and organizations evolve, and that 
food-consciousness seems to be one of the most common gateways to a wider 
sustainable-design consciousness.

It's an interesting state of affairs.

Are you apprised of all that there is to know about the types of law suits
that have been coming from Monsanto?

Personally, food is a part of a basic 'understanding'. It's a primary
motivator to community. People discussing plants, their effects if eaten,
etc. That to me is basic.  Altering genetic codes, patenting plants, that's
not in the same spirit as I understand it.
