How does Monsanto's "Agent Orange" relate to today's GMO debate?
Let's see; Monsanto developed a product, lied to US Servicemen about it's safety, caused cancer and early death to not only thousands of veterans, but their offspring, made billions of dollars, and escaped any accountability at all.
Now all the US regulatory agencies are heavily infested with former Monsanto executives and lobbyists, and they are assuring us that their new technology is safe. Have they fundamentally changed their business plan?
Frankly, the company lacks credibility with me.
Putting aside the "food safety" aspect of the issue; Is Monsanto the altruistic godsend dedicated to ending world hunger? Or possibly, are they interested on the patents they receive concerning GMO, and cloning technology for future monopolization of not only food, but organ manufacture. They seem to be extraordinarily interested in protecting their technology for such a benevolent company.
I'm not a paranoid type person, but know firsthand the lack of ethics that Monsanto holds when weighing profits over morals.
I'm working to keep them away from Hawaii.
