where can I get seeded watermelons in Israel? The markets are full of the genetically altered seedless variety, which is often too sweet, stiffer texture, and worst of all, without seeds.

Why not bury them? Makes excellent compost.

Now suppose the company considered this a hefsed meruba – if we took the Chazon Ish’s eitza, and buried 250 lb of seed, you’d have, to use the analogy of Shabbos, at least a karov l’psik reisha that you’d get a pretty big crop of watermelon and even more seeds, which would not be tevel, but it would be an interesting shaila for R Schwartz Shlit”a, as to whether there would be any problem of hana-ah, for doing that l’chat’chila. Agav, the comma between “terumah,” and “which is tamei,” implies a non-restrictive clause, which is not at all what the Chazon Ish intended.
“Some of the kohanim on the staff and their chilren” – if the children are young enough for a chazaka, it’s even less of a problem.

A couple of my kids were standing there too but didn’t make it in to the picture. (Guess they missed out on their five minutes of fame)

Alternatively, they could just market 250 lbs without hashgacha. I dont think its a problem for a non-Jew to sell tevel to a non-Jew to eat. They arent muzhar on such things anyways.
Furthermore, the Rambam is meikil on terumos umaasros brought to chutz laaretz (and the Raavad argues). I forget how Shulchan Aruch comes out, or if he even talks about it. But this is a cool article. I want to see more of this kind of news.
