Get into them Monsanto! With only 39 days the difference between being fed and starvation on a global scale, this technology is one we cannot ignore. Lowest food stocks outside of wartime in modern history and trust me you don’t want to see a world run much shorter on food … particularly if you care for remnant vegetation.

In France, the police come to supervise crop destruction events to ensure that there is no “violence” involved.
If Monsanto had half a brain, they’d sue the police.
Remember the riots in France where the Islamists were burning cars and torching businesses? French police were on hand to ensure that the arson was conducted in a “civil” manner.
Well, they supervised the orderly evacuation of the Jews to “showers,” so likely they’ll properly administer food shortages as well as they manage attacks on crops.
The French are reliable that way.
