Worse still - some of the seed varieties are hybrid and will not re-produce when re-planted the following year.
Monsanto have been taken to court over their part in the production of Agent Orange and the following illnesses and deaths to the people who worked on the stuff.
Do you think that the average British citizen is aware of this or actually gives a toss?
