I am getting the idea that readers here think I posted the Scientific American link because I support Monsanto or am against heirlooms.
Absolutely NOT! I'd have to reread the article with a critical eye, but I meant it (and thought it) to be a much more clear presentation of the facts without bias.
Everyone has opinions, and mine are neither all good or all bad about heirlooms. Like apples and oranges, hybrids and heirlooms are different. If you like apples, that doesn't mean you hate oranges, or vice versa.
I rarely read comments to any blogs or articles. There are so many reasons, but most can be summed up in the statement that "they make me mad", and ruin my day. Sorry, I prefer to my own conclusions.
If I could have erased the "M" word from the article, I would have. I regret having brought up the ugliness.
