Yes, so we want to "help" them by selling them seeds that have been altered
to be self-terminating, so that they have to come back to the corporation
every year and buy more. Seed-saving has been an integral part of
agriculture, but Monsanto wants to change that.

So...that is part of our "idealistic" dream of feeding the poor?
