Is it a Big Funnel or Are We Just Going Down The Drain?

Not only have we have seen big box retailers displace thousands of small, locally operated stores, but big agriculture has been key to the loss of thousands of vegetable varieties. Consequently our ability to buy items that best fit our needs, and vegetables that make our meals more enjoyable, and nutritious, have been diminished.  While we can do without many "things" we cannot be truly healthy without good nutrition.  Since mono-culture agriculture is more profitable, some varieties which may hold valuable nutritional and genetic traits are neglected and lost.

It would be a shame to lose the ability to save our own seeds and grow delicious and sometimes just beautiful crops, such as this Glass Gem corn that is not commercially feasible for big corporations.
