It's about freaking time!  Monsanto is trying to wipe farmers off the face of the Earth by bullying them into buying their genetically modified seed.  Watch the documentary Food, Inc to learn more.  This is the same company that wants us to think that milk from cows treated with RGB is the same as milk from cows that are receiving hormones to increase their milk production.

Monsanto is one of the best examples of corporate Fascism.
They are ruthless and are only driven by profits in view of making the human race a weaker species!!
A HIDEOUSLY EVIL Corporation!!!
Fight them by growing something organic in your back yard, collecting the seed each season and distributing it where no other Monsanto crops are being grown. Must preserve human race food source!!!!!

I prefer that my food not be: radiated, genetically altered, pumped full of growth hormones, sprayed with various carcinogenic insecticides, or in any other way tampered with before I eat it. And companies like Monsanto see food purely as profit, not as a healthy substance for human consumption. "It's safe enough" should not be the standard for food! If they could feed us ground-up garbage, they would do it if there was a dollar to be made.

China, Russia, Europe, Africa, and ????  Monsanto is global and thus, the food has been contaminated on earth in the round.

Ah, that's the story alright:  the earth is only for those whose news reigns supreme and that means the tumbler of rocks just keeps on turning.

Intelligence may not be able to find time for thinking since the round-about confuses brain synapses, notice the Monsanto problem is only a U.S. one.

Whoops, turn it around again and maybe next century the other countries can understand boxes of rocks are all the same, too.

Monsanto is the Devil, destroying our natural world since the beginning, raping & pillaging innocent helpless natural/organic farmers just to make higher profits. PEOPLE ARE DYING, FAMILIES ARE FALLING APART, OUR NATURAL HABITAT IS BEING RAVAGED TO THE POINT OF A DECREPIT HEARTBEAT. The CROOKED LAW is RAPING INNOCENT HUMANS as it sides with Corporate America. People please wake up when you read this Monsanto article. THIS IS MADNESS & IT MUST BE STOPPED.
One Love Friends :), Hold On Strong. To hurt anything is this world is to hurt our very self & soul.

Well it's about time someone took a stand against Monsanto. The sad part is that most Americans haven't even heard that name!!! And several former employees have seats on the US Senate. Shocking and scary. Let's get 'em!

The CEO and management of Monsanto are insane to sue farmers for infringement due to prevailing winds. These diabolical people will stop at nothing to destroy anyone standing in the way of Monsanto's total control over the farming industry.  The CEO and management of Monsanto must be stopped.  Monsanto must be dismantled, and the owners jailed.

Just wait till the world realizes too late that they have already contaminated most the planets top soil and there aluminum resistant patented seeds are the only ones that will any longer grow in the polluted  earth. Wake up people this company is going to destroy the earth if left to act in this manner and conduit business as they do. There is already excessive amounts found in the waterways and what should be pristine lands like Mt. Shasta snowfall. I only hope its not already too late. They've past the SB 512 to outlaw organic seed distribution in the United States so drying and passing along your organic and heirlooms seeds is against the law already.

Monsanto is the reason the world is starving, the guys who run this company are the same people who are regulating the food industry.

The article is wrong in saying that contamination with Monsanto seed is natural because there is nothing natural about genetically manipulate seeds the way they do it. Monsanto is truly evil. Their board members go on the board of the FDA and vice versa. Go organic farmers! Sue these bastards to bits.

Does anyone know? Doesn't George Soros own a big piece of Monsanto?

 

PBS had a Frontline (or another program) about how Monsanto is running over farmers.
