it is yeah you hit it right on the head like if every line you said and someone had a wad of cash and tipped you yeah favro either gave me nothing or he gave me 20 at the end 20 and then so your mind is like do i kiss his ass do i do better do i tell him to fuck off that's a whole nother podcast the amount of things people say about you in the water station yes you know yes yes well i worked at cpk for a while oh you know i've said those
Not only that, but we're also losing the diversity and the dynamic nature of the seeds that Seeds are only being built and constructed to survive and be durable in a very specific weather pattern, very specific growing pattern and style. Again, going back to minimizing flavor and individuality and dynamic nature into just something that is indestructible. Right. Right, right, right.
We're 50% there as a human race. The world's seeds are owned by four corporations. 50% of them are. This is actually a great sci-fi movie. There's a whole network of young farmers and individual farmers that are fighting against this in the way farmers do with a smile and really great energy. With a beautiful heart and saving these seeds in their pockets.
And so the world that a lot of the seed protectors are trying to save is that world. And the world that the corporations want is the gas flush tomato where all tomatoes are round and red and look the same. And if we're not careful, we will get there. I know, again, it doesn't seem that realistic, but if we start eating all the same foods regularly,
If we're only all eating one tomato or one seed of a tomato that's engineered, if we're all only eating one form of broccoli or only one form of onion, what will happen to us is we will all eventually become somewhat of an android. We will all become the same. Well, the same microbiome. Same microbiomes. We're eating the same thing.
And all those things are controlled and they can be moved like a joystick to however they want us to be.
Yeah. And that's about black entrepreneurship, which is not the topic a lot of people talk about in the uprising and racism and resistance here within America is that there is the stuff that is up front that is very important. Brutality, violence, a lack of access, lack of upper mobility. But the fact that the African-American community doesn't own any property or land. Mm hmm.
is one of the most detrimental, and we focus on that in the episode. In this capitalist economy, if you don't own any land, you're always at the mercy of someone else.
It has to start there, and that's what we address in that episode. We show examples, and we show arguments, and all this.
It's on Tastemade and KCET.
