Should farmers be allowed to keep seed crop to plant on their own land in future years? Should patents be allowed on commonly and presently grown food crops? Should those patents be awarded to the company which discovers the genetic sequence? Should farmers growing crops now have to pay for 'use' of these patents... even if they've never had anything to do with the company patenting these crops? Answer these questions, honestly, and you may understand one cause of the disquiet and/or anger over GM foodstuffs. Other details, for example the migration of modified genes into the wild, are <ot> for FADG.
