    Monsanto, Inc., has a sordid reputation around Cahokia, Illinois...a huge, irresponsible polluter who, like most corporations, are interested only in the profit for it's shareholders at the expense of 'the rest of us.'

    It's time to change corporate laws in America.

    No 'offshore' tax shelters

    Employ Americans

    Set a time limit or 'growth index' for investors

    Tax the corporations the same as American citizens

    It is time for a seed satyagraha in America. It is time to choose the right path, and it is not the Monsanto path. And if you are new to this site, please check out the Monsanto tag which is full of information about what is going on regarding GMOS across the world, and the despicable tactics of this company to destroy biodiversity.

    Shame on this government for continuing to placate them. Michelle Obama plants an "organic" garden while Monsanto continues to wield clout over the rest of our food? There is something wrong with this picture.

    Be aware of MONSTERANTO! The multi-national corporation whose logo should include horns, a pointy tail & a pitchfork for prodding consumers into buying their evil, unhealthy & environmentally destructive products.

    Refer to a documentary called "The Corporation." Monsanto is one of their prime examples in the documentary. Very very enlightening documentary. Monsanto is the anti-christ of the food industry.

    first time on here, so excuse me if i dont have the follow proper ettiquette. that said...

    are you kidding me! we must must MUST produce at least 2 times the amount of food we are currently producing just to feed the projected population by 2025. it has taken us over 100 years to go from 50 bu/acre corn in the corn belt to 158 bu/acre average in 2008. it took 3000 years to develop a variety of wheat that can grow consistently under extreme conditions in places like india, africa, russia, austrailia etc.

    if we want to feed people better than adequate, then we need to produce more food than projected. i work for a monsanto rival...they arent my favorite company in terms of competition in the market place, but no one can deny that we NEED companies like monsanto, syngenta, dow agro, kws, and others if we are to provide anywhere near enough food.

    there has never been one documented case of anything resembling a health issue with bio engineered products commercially released and available for public consumption, at least not by a reputable medical organization, government agency, independent research organization. there HAVE been issues in decades past with some pesticides harming the environment and humans (nearly all have been banned in Norht America and beyond). There are some hazardous pesticides still used but, and im speaking from personal experience, unless they are directly ingested by a person, or topically absorbed in huge quantities over a long period of time, they are less harmful than the standard nail polish remover or toilet cleaner. It is scientifically impossible for glyphosate (the main ingredient in Roundup) to harm a human through skin absorbtion...the chemistry that binds to cell walls in plants to systemically kill them requiers a protein not found in human skin cells. to imply that it is harmful is outright misinformation.

    american farmers and ranchers are, without question, some of the best conservationists in the world. we learned, nearly a century ago, that the land takes care of its occupants only as long as its occupants take care of it. so please, stop lying about pollution, corruption, legal disregard, hazard to human health and other propoganda spread to harm the very people that are trying to save the world from famine. im not a blogger, executive, or cover up artist. i just stumbled on your website while taking a break from some office work. i do farm, i do ranch and i do work for an ag company, not monsanto. i have a college education and im not some redneck hick. so before the insults fly, i thought i might answer that for you.

    Corporations care about only one thing . Money . Money = Power . They are already more powerful than our own government ( they own it ) - do not trust them !

    nkeg...ive touched plenty of roundup in the last 15 years...im still here and my hands obviously havent fallen off...btw, you seem really concerned about the corruption of major corporations and the evil doers out there, but let me ask you this: why would you refer to the lawsuites to make up your mind about how harmful a product is? lawyers arent scientists and most of the lawyers involved in both sides of cases you refer to are bought and paid for by large corporations--of lawyers! typical hypocrisy, but thanks for making my point for me...

    I do not want to eat or feed my children GM foods . I want to save my own seeds and trade them with my friends . I do not want my country to be dependent on the non sustainable methods of factory farming of tasteless foods , that are vulnerable to the next fungus ( like bananas ) that will wipe them off the face of the earth .

    GROWER/l.stone/whatever your cover is

    I'll take a million $ bet right NOW that YOU will never address another issue on current.

    due to no monitory interests in any thing other than ROUNDUP!.

    Go tell the Indian farmers that drink roundup to commit suicide how safe it is While you are @ it film yourself eating a grain of soy to tell the "test Rats" how safe it is for their kids!!

    Actually I have already switched to hemp milk , and other grains , but I have not heard of Baobab , is that a fruit ? Sadly I came to the change in diet because I simply cannot digest the GM stuff . Body wisdom . I see a lot of other people getting into the same boat . Try not eating it for a month , see how you feel .
