>you should consider that your seed after harvest is going to be different on a genetic level from what you planted (just like how you’re not a clone of your parents, the wheat isn’t either). So sure you could reuse seed from harvest, but then you risk having plants susceptible to disease, drought, and lower yield. Being cynical doesn’t make you informed.
It's like people have missed the past century of farming improvement. And they basically just want a reason to steer the conversation to band wagon hate on GMOs and Monsanto.

Yeah, it really delivered. By the time you're in the last act, you're rooting for them, even if you should know better. And you get that impossible moment, and then it's taken from you, and you feel it. Something that's very hard to do with cynical movie goers like myself who have seen it all.

I mean, anything you do at scale is going to have large impacts.
If people keep saying no to everything, then we aren't going to fix any problem.
Sometimes it seems people just want the electricity, but don't want it to come from anywhere.
