Sorenne and I only got through the start of The Colbert Report this morning before it was off to vaccinations, so this post is somewhat late.

But Stefan did take an excellent shot at more food wackiness being peddled on the Internet and insisted on his home herb garden, because, “I refuse to live in a world where I can’t garnish.”

My seeds are germinating in the Kansas spring, including my garnish garden, but I get my seeds at Home Depot or several other places. I want hybrids. Genetic modification is good. That’s why hybrid corn has been around since the early 1900s.

Not so for the Survival Seed Bank, which says it’s more valuable than silver or gold in a real meltdown.

Remember, our hand-picked seeds are not genetically modified in any way. You simply save some of your harvest seeds from year one and have more than enough to plant in year two. You’ll never need to buy seeds again! You just can’t do that with man-made hybrid seeds.

Most seed companies are now selling only "terminator" seeds which have been genetically modified and will not reproduce themselves.

This is nonsense. And for government-paranoias here in the Midwest,

"Indestructible Survival Seed Bank Can Be Buried To Avoid Confiscation."

It’s all BS to make a buck.
