I read about a Brit that was like that about bread; except that he was concerned with the freshness. He squeezed (and ruined!) many loaves of bread until the store owner had finally had enough of it and sued.

That's part of what we do on EG, there was a seed train going but it petered out after awhile. Once I get this harvest in and save seed I plan to set back enough for next year and a little bit more for insurance then offer the rest up for trade for other varieties. I had some pepper seeds I'd gotten from HotPepperQueen that never sprouted after the first year cause I didn't save seed, I ended up having to go out and buy pepper seeds. I intend to save the seed from them even though I know they won't come out exactly the same since they're Walmart cheap seeds

It's down right scary to think we may not have a choice in the future about we plant or even if we can get pure seed (non GMO or hybrids) varieties.

I think that even if you plant hybrids and such, and save the seed, you will have SOME kind of harvest. Then save seeds from the best plants and use that seed, continuing to save the best. Eventually you will have some new variety that is acclimated to the growing conditions of your own little slice of paradise.
