Monsanto is evil. They are the root of all genetically modified food and subsequent disease in this country. WHY are people developing cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc? One word. Bad food. The company behind it all? Monsanto.
Almost everything in your grocery store center isles are a product of Monsanto. They own almost all of the big corporations.
Did you know that they are against anything organic? They are very powerful because of their money, but you can stop them from doing what they want to do--- take over the food industry.
When it comes to the Big Bad Wolf of our food system, look no further than Monsanto.
Monsanto squeezes out farmers, seed growers, and practically everyone else in the business of growing food. Monsanto has its patented genes inserted into 95% of soybeans and 80% of all the corn grown in the United States. Their monopoly is so insidious that the Department of Justice is looking into whether Monsanto's business practices are illegal.
And now, Forbes Magazine named Monsanto the #1 company of the year for 2009.
Whatever the selection criteria at Forbes, I don't support them or the values they embody.
What Monsanto fears is the public knowing there's a new way forward for our food, free from genetic engineering and harmful pesticides. That's why, when Michelle Obama created an organic garden at the White House, Monsanto had the nerve to protest the garden, urging Michelle Obama to use pesticides on her food!
Monsanto is the prime example of everything that's wrong with our food. They're a huge corporation that plows down everything in its path in pursuit of cheaper food for bigger profits. And now that Forbes named Monsanto company of the year, it's clear that fresh, organic food advocates are the David to Monstanto's Goliath.
Monsanto would like nothing more than to see the sustainable food movement fail. But with your help,we're building a grassroots movement to fight back and free our food from Monsanto's grasp.
