Can a corporation be evil?  Only if you count decades of blatently lying to the public, lobbying/ bribing government officials, intimidating the media with lawsuits, controlling "our food" products, bullying small farmers, putting profit/ greed ahead of what is morally/ ethically responsible, producing products that lead to cancer, birth defects, etc.  Or is the real problem the people (Congress & The POTUS) who accept these bribes and allow themselves to be controlled and manipulated?

I introduce you to the "future of phood"...Monsanta is a multi-billion dollar multinational agricultural corporation. Their corporate slogan is "A Sustainable Agriculture Company" whose goal is to feed the world (aren't they wonderful)! Founded in 1901, Monsanto is famous for some very dubious "contributions" to society.

 

 

 

Here is a list of some of Monsanto's "accomplishments"...

 

Saccharin- an artifical sweetener found in products like Sweet n' Low. Scientists have warned that it poses potential health risks.

DDT- a lethal insecticide (now banned worldwide) that has many environmental & health risks.

PCB- Polychlorinated Biphenyl (now banned) was a highly toxic material mainly used as a fluid in coolants.

Polystyrene- aka styrofoam is an oil based plastic that is non- biodegradable and will be with us for generations!

Dioxin- aka Agent Orange (WMD) is a toxic herbicide used by the United States to destroy and kill during the Vietnam War.  It is still killing today.

Roundup- a legal herbicide used by millions. Scientists warn that we don't know the long range effect on the environment and human health.

Genetically Modified Organisms- sterile genetically modified seed (banned in Canada and parts of Europe/ Asia) will feed the United States and help destroy the small family farmer.

rBGH/ rBST- aka cow steriods used by farmers to create more (possibly cancer causing) milk and no one asked the cows if they wanted to hit more home runs!
