Pesticides
Should we use pesticides on our food? In my opinion, no i don't think we should use pesticides because they could ruin our health. Not only that, but there are so many substitutes in using something to kill the bugs. Such as bugs on bugs. There are other insects that could be used on a farm to kill other pests. Such as praying mantises or lady bugs, or flys that lay eggs in ants. There are many other substitutes and in using bugs to eat bugs you are bringing in more population for those bugs to your farm.

Farmer Barry
I believe that what happened to farmer barry was very unfair. I think that the court should have said that it wasn't the farmers problem if these seeds came onto his land. They said it didn't matter how the seeds got onto his land, whether it was by bird, or cross pollination. This, in my opinion, is stupid. The farm has no control over nature, such as the birds and the bees. He can't keep bees out, or else how can he farm? Thus, there is no way to keep these seeds out of his farm other then not farming. I also believe that its stupid that there saying that their mutated seed is supposed to be equal to the regular seed, yet its unique enough to have patent on it. This doesn't make sense at all. I think a better outcome is either in the ruling of the case in court, or in the giving the patent on these mutated seeds.
