have you bought seeds?

I've bought a whole bunch

unfortunately I'm in a condo right now.  --- no ggarden

but i'm still collecting seeds

Seems kind of dumb to stock up on seeds bro.  Think about it.  If the shit hits the fan what are seeds going to do for you?  Especially living in a condo.  You're better off spending your money on freeze dried food, canned food, etc.  Plus even if people have a garden so what?  One little suburban garden is hardly going to feed one person let alone a family of four etc.

I have stocked up on ready to eat food.
 

I've also stocked up on seeds

we have some already but I'll probably get some more.

Here's a big problem tho: "organic farms are increasingly finding that via cross-pollination their pure food has been contaminated with GM DNA thus ruining their businesses"  They keep finding that people who absolutely were dead set against growing GM have found that somehow their crops have been inflitrated by gm dna.  WTF...  So that means that after a few seasons, your heirloom seeds that you're collecting back from the crop might be and probably will eventually be contaminated.

Point is more that monsanto is buying up all the seed companies as quickly as they can.  If one day he decided to grow a good garden somewhere, he might find the non GM seed hard to come by.

this is deliberate. Monsanto wants all other natural breeds dead, this way only their genetic variant of seeds will in the end exist, which of cause you can buy from them only as they are patented!

I also think they have some crop modified to not produce functional seed which means you will have to buy new seeds from them every season. Like a rent. Presumably some cotton and soy variants are this way currently.

I think some of their new soy crop produces chemical pesticides and herbicides on their own aswell.
