[option]”GMOs are poisoning the good people of @@NAME@@!” screeches Green Party spokesperson and organic farmer @@RANDOMNAME@@. “If these demon seeds are capable of murdering mice, imagine what health complications they could create in our populace over the next few years! Cultivation of all genetically modified crops must be banned before they can harm our children any further! And furthermore, the government needs to provide more funding to organic farmers like me, so that we can return wholesome, natural foods to the diets of all the citizens of @@NAME@@! Better your @@CURRENCY@@s go to small, dedicated entrepreneurs like myself than the fat-cat CEOs of the industry, am I right?

[option]”Now, you don’t really intend on taking any of this nonsense seriously, do you?” intones CEO of NotMason Seeds @@RANDOMMALENAME@@. His bodyguards eye you shiftily from where they stand blocking the door of your office. “Our scientists have conducted multiple studies concerning the safety of our products with nothing but stellar results! And our crop yields are consistently much higher than those of organic producers. In order to continue feeding our ever-increasing population, cultivation of NotMason’s patented genetic blends must continue. In fact, if more funding were provided to our scientific research team, we could increase our yields to the point where there would be huge volumes of grains available for export, which would be a great boon to my – err, the nation’s economy.”

After giving you a moment to realize that you don’t know how she got into your office, she cries: “The purity of our Earth has been compromised! We must give her the opportunity to purge herself of this unholy rewriting of God’s sacred templates and heal! All agricultural pursuits should be rendered illegal until such time as the natural order of things has been restored! IT IS THE LORD’S WAY!” She then collapses in a heap on your carpet.
