EU bans seeds
http://www.naturalnews.com/040214_seeds_...ation.html

Saving and planting seeds will be illegal in the EU.

Good way to support agribusiness and cut off the food supply for anyone who won't obey the EU bureaucracy.

RE: EU bans seeds
Damn, I wonder if Monsanto had their filthy little hands in on that decision?

RE: EU bans seeds
So no more gardening? That's pretty fucked up.

RE: EU bans seeds
Yeah, this is worthless law that cannot be enforced. How the fuck can you keep seeds out of people's hands? May as well ban oxygen.

Reading the law also shows they just want to keep gardeners from selling their product at cheaper prices than is offered by large corporations such as Monsanto.

This law will only be selectively enforced, and people who want to grow food for their own will be untouched because there will not be any way to actively find every man who decides to start a garden.

RE: EU bans seeds
Skimming the article it looks like it is a proposed law. So not illegal yet. There seems to be a strong anti-EU surge in the UK right now. This kind of proposal is not going to hep matters.

A few years back Monsanto ran into huge issues when they tried to do something like this in India and where giving a big "F U" by the Indian population.

What the hell? I bought a pack of date fruits and have grown several palms from scratch. Am I a criminal? I'm seriously going to admit that there is a conspiracy theory at work here.

No this is serious. So if I eat a bunch of watermelon, then fly to Europe and take a shit, would I be considered a smuggler?

The EU will collapse,,,,so they can ban seeds all they want. As for Monsanto , their dubious ways will come to an end.

Erm guys, the EU sanctioned the money grab of peoples money. Why would anything be surprising?

Imagine the US government doing that, they would have a civil war.

RE: EU bans seeds
I thought this was going to be about an EU forum that banned a member called "seeds" for being a plant.

If you've never met a forum member - I'll assume you're lying
