This is the very reason I’ve never bought a packet of biscuits in my life, and I’m older than you. They just rot teeth.

This is the serious problem with the world, they’re being blackmailed into the monoculture and using the chemical companies goods and seeds. They feel for the most part trapped by Monsanto and Beyer.
