More on Monsanto

Interesting and well worth the read articles. Please, read!

What is so upsetting i guess is that nothing is being done to stop this. Where are the government research groups? Where are OUR lobbyists that are fighting to stop 3 or 4 giant companies from controlling the world's food? And now with all the flooding in the Midwest, this is just fuel for Monsanto's fire. With many farmers crops gone. Their farms possibly gone. I bet Monsanto will there. And the farmer who has lost it all, hoping to regain something, will make a deal with the devil.
