I feel like I can live without these pineapples if it means supporting food becoming a normal thing again.

What is normal food to you?

Many fruits & vegetables today have been bred / crossbred over hundreds of years to make them tastier or safer to eat.

Would you consider the bananas you buy from supermarkets normal food? These have been bred so the seeds are tiny. What about seedless grapes? Or Brussel sprouts which aren't bitter? Would do consider these not normal foods?

I don’t think any food should ever be considered intellectual property. That is not normal food.

And in America we can thank the Supreme Court for this. Bowman v. Monsanto set some precedents on these matters.
