They're in bed together, that's enough for me. Lol

" s is Monsanto's exclusive agent for the international marketing and

distribution of consumer Roundup®. "

Does that line me that Monsanto owns them or that they are merely an agent?

I'm thinking just agent, but, I still don't like it.

Wow, what a response and so fast. This is quite a lively group. Answers are

sprouting up everywhere. booo... I know bad pun... But I am surprised at the

fast response here. Other Yahoo groups are much more stagnant than this group.

I will do a check with the company that supplies the seed at my local Fred Meyer

store. I'll ask them if they may be organic or if they are consumable by by

sprouting for humans... They may be just repackaged and sold as bird feed.

To be honest, I really don't want 10lbs of seed... That would take a long time

to sprout them all... and I've not tried sprouted sunflower seeds before. I

think I will go to the bulk section at WinCo and buy a little seeds there and

see if they will work.

WinCo has a great bulk section. I'll check them out. Just in case you're not

familiar with WinCo.. They have stores in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California

and Oregon... thus WinCo.

Dennis, if they are marketed as bird seed they are not clean as they would be if

human consumption and even human consumption is allowed to have so much rat

droppings in them, etc.  LOL.  Don't think about it, but don't eat bird seed

either.  Check HandyPantry.com or check with a supplier of organic seed. 

Organic seed for sprouting must be more clean that what is planted or what is

eaten by birds.  I don't know about Emergency Essentials as to whether they

have sprouting seeds other than alfalfa.
