Scary Thought of Conspiracy

[boggybranch]

What if the spread of plant pathogens and diseases was the work of a "chemical giant" to tighten their grip on food production and supply. One name comes to my mind.

Absurd?

Last year I would have said absurd. This year.... ???

That is so funny, I sent a PM to Hattie talking about that exact thing this morning. But I named the corporate evil giant in the PM... you know... our lovely slave driving, planet and family killing, neighbor trying to round up new business via the US senate, USDA and FDA!?

I think they had something to do with it... mass out break destroying the organic gardening industry.... Its like Mad Gardener Disease. They'll have to start recalling all heirloom plants and seeds sold in the US next!

Now I do think you are going a bit overboard now.

There have been outbreaks of this disease for hundreds of years & all over the world; witness the Great Potato Famine in Ireland in the 19th Century.

Come on Hattie... its no fun talking about conspiracy theories when you're the one who is always right! It was a funny thought for a second!

Pretty sure they didn't start it- but also pretty sure they are laughing at us!! Keep gardening! Don't let "them" win!

Oooooooooo.............but what if it IS true? You know, like that crop circle thang.

Hrmmm.... Interesting thought! I wouldn't discount it! But I do think it's unlikely...
