Monsanto’s Bad Record Gets Major Publicity in Vanity Fair

Monsanoto is going to get a major spanking in May’s Vanity Fair magazine. Highlighted are their KGB tactics to investigate small town farmer’s for “stealing” Monsanto’s genetically altered seeds and the subpeopenas and  lawsuits that result. Also, I learned a little more about the history of Monsanto, the companies beginning and their deplorable record of pollution from chemical manufacturing and their bid to own the food supply.  This is one company that should get all the bad publicity they deserve. I just hope Vanity fair doesn’t get sued for their article. Monsanto obviously has the money and time to do it considering all the time they spend suing small farmers. But then again Monsanto knows many small farmers don’t have a  lot of extra money to fight a court case. So the more farmers they intimidate and scare into having to buy their seed, the more they win the battle to own the food supply.
