I was disturbed enough to hear a statement on NPR about how Monsanto is one of their sponsors, with a little blurb about how great genetically modified seeds are and how they’re saving the planet.
But it was even more disturbing that, minutes later, there was a report about how efficient genetically modified seeds are. The report didn’t mention Monsanto, but I was still disturbed. After seeing the accusations against the company in Food Inc. I’m skeptical. The convenience of their seeds doesn’t change the fact that they have control over 90% of the crops in this country, which only increases as they prosecute farmers for theft if their crops happen to be pollenated by plants grown from their seeds. As if anyone has control over the way the wind blows.
