I don't understand why they don't harvest the amaranth or pigweed and sell as food. The leaves taste like spinach.

Why don't these motherfuckers tell us that this superweeds ARE the result of genetically modified organisms and their pesticedes and that nature by its own would never have produced anything like these superweeds !!

Amaranth. Some 40 specimens in USA. Staple of the most advanced civilizations. When leaves/stems are browned in oil this plant is unrivaled in flavor. In soup it tastes like spinach. The seeds are extremely nutritious when mixed with wheat compliment it's deficiencies. Probably the most complete and certainly favorite forage for livestock such as rabbit. Unlike with lambquarter, rabbits eat it seed, stems and all. When young, finger thick stems artichoke flavored even grows in poor or arid soil

This was know and warned of by those that had their eyes open many years ago. Interesting Monsanto is blaming the farmers. They did the same when their GM cotton seeds failed in India and there was a wave of suicides as those that trusted Monsanto and were in debt and despair took this way out. Monsanto = Monsatan!

Looks like u might have to start walking beans again instead of taking the lazy/destructive route of spraying chemicals all over the food supply
