This sending seeds via the mail has all the hallmarks of a internet inspired conspiracy rumor. A foreign power, and possible enemy, is sending "mysterious" seeds to poor, unsuspecting Americans& Brits to further some diabolically evil plot. Throw in a space alien, and a couple of ghosts, and you've got a late night movie. The US's FDA found the seeds were common vegetable, and flower seeds. Their country of origin seems to be debatable. Somehow you think that would be easy to find out? It isn't. Plus. as far as a plot of some kind , it's not really effective. How many citizens, who get these seeds are going to rush out, and plant these people eating plants in the ground? When you take in whether these seeds will germinate, won't get eaten, won't freeze, won't dry out, won't drown, won't bake , won't etc , etc, etc. The odds of any successful plot tanks . The US FDA says not to plant hem, but even the US FDA think this is a "brushing scam" . I don't understand it, but they mail out stuff free, and then claim to have satisfied customers. I believe the FDA is right, and this is more of an internet conspiracy rumor, which has its origin in some kind of business venture.- not an international plot against humanity.
