Have you been buying those seedless watermelons?

Have you noticed how hard it is to get a good one?

We’ve experienced all sorts of weird things when we cut into one.

We’ve had all white meat.

Thick white veins.

The one I cut open today had hard white sections that looked like some other kind of fruit was trying to grow there. I should have taken pictures, but I was so disgusted I just threw it out. Mutant watermelon. Cool.

In all my years, I’ve never seen the likes of what we’ve seen the last couple of years when we cut into a watermelon.

I knew I should have bit the bullet and bought the real watermelon! But it’s so big…  That’s how they get us. The genetically modified watermelon cost $1.99 today and it’s smaller. The real watermelon cost $6.99 today,  is big and has those black seeds. Of course Monstanto is laughing all the way to the bank. Once the real thing becomes extinct, no one will be able to grow a watermelon without buying the seeds from Monstanto. They already own most of the corn and soy in the US.

You think healthcare is a problem now? Wait a few years. We’re already the fattest country, and we’re racing toward the sickest.

I’m going to have to start sharing with a neighbor or something. I’m sick of these genetically modified things, and hopefully it won’t kill us in the long run. It has gotten so hard to avoid GMO foods in the US. Other countries have banned them, but Monstanto is very powerful here in the US, and our regulatory agency is allegedly one of the most corrupt in the world.

Yeah, it does take some effort to avoid these foods. And it often takes spending a few more bucks on real and organic food. But I think that’s a lot better and cheaper than the alternative, don’t you?

Let’s try and stay off the drug-rolls as long as possible!
