We are slowly getting rid of all seeds in fruits and vegetables. And honestly, it's brilliant. Because once every apple, grape, watermelon and tomato is seedless, guess who controls life itself? No more planting your own food. No more saving seeds for next season.
Everything you eat, everything that grows, will come from our labs. And when the last natural seed is gone, that's when it gets fun. We can make them rare, expensive, maybe even licensed. Only billionaires that will have gardens and everyone else will have to subscribe to eat. Sounds insane, right? But it's already happening.
Seedless isn't convenience, it's containment. Every time you pick up a seedless fruit, you're holding a future that can't reproduce. So yeah, expect more seedless, everything. Because the easiest way to control the world is to stop it from growing.
So remember to stay safe out there.
Hmm, there is a major flaw in your theory tho. Supermarket fruits are often F1 hybrids and could not be replanted before either.
Wasn't that the previous step in the process?
No, F1 hybrids just can be selected for better tasting stuff and more weight/volume of crop.
Occams Razor - the simple explanation makes sense, so why persue the one that would need a complex worldwide hidden collusion?
Second major flaw to your theory is that stable seed can be bought everywhere and is incredibly cheap. Why would there be this complicated thing about supermarket fruit and vegetables if consumers could just simply buy seeds?
True, but how many people do you know that can plant seeds and have the knowledge to farm their own fruits and veggies?
Almost everyone I know, I think. It's not particularly hard to plant a tomato seed.
Let me add that I find the topic of seed preservation incredibly important and if you're active in this hobby this is honorable. I just think you can enjoy this hobby without needing an enemy to enjoy it.
