What is an heirloom?
Ok, so I spoke (or wrote) like this was a casual conversation instead of
a classroom. I have learned a lesson - I had better be precise.
I have also read a good book on the subject. 'Lords of the Harvest:
Biotech, Money, and the Future of Food' by Daniel Charles. It came out
in 2001 and covers the origins of the industry. The author is not biased
for or against.
