And it's a kick seeing the fruit in differrent colors.
But it is a parable for any mono-crop (think GMO's)
Across my desk over the past five years, over two dozen accounts of how the Big Corporations are dissovlibng the heirloom seed caches have shown up. The example that stands out is how when Hartz Mountain (Of parakeet and parrot seed fame) was purchased by one of the big Agro firms, the acquiring firm incinerated the heirloom seed base.
Can't allow for any competition with the GMO crops!
