Idiocracy, anyone? In the future, the crops were dying because they water them with "
Brawndo (the thirst mutilator)" . . . because it has electrolytes . . . which is what plants crave . . . (because the Brawndo corpoation had purchased the FDA) . . .
I've always said that Idiocracy represents the state of things NOW, not 500 years in the future.
