[DeTomaso] NPC - Monsanto

[Tony DiGiovanna]

Often, as you stray further from good, natural, sustainable, animal
husbandry and farming practices, you ultimately suffer an unforeseen
fatal-flaw setback.

I was just pointing out the specific reason for sitting on GM rice. I'm NOT
defending Monsanto! People can do their own research on them and make up
their own minds. I'm personally not a fan of their business tactics, but
their technology has enabled farmers to achieve crop yields that were
unimaginable a decade or so ago. And as food resources become more and more
sought after around the world we're going to be glad we have these high
yielding crops!

 Now that we have morphed to Monsanto........what a dick of a company THEY
are.

Google the Canadian farmer that lost in court to them over his 'use' of
Monsanto's Round-up resistant flax seed.

Now flax is a very small seed, prone to falling off trucks on the way to
mills. So this farmer, NOT wanting to use their seed for his crop as it
cannot be exported to Europe, winds up with volunteer Monsanto plants in his
flax field. Which in turn wind up in his harvest. Monsanto somehow gets wind
of this, sues his ass for using their seed without buying it.....

Now the whole Canadian flax industry is contaminated and the Europe market
is lost to Canadian farmers.

Amazing, but true.

Don't be surprised if you really get worked up once your Google results
start to feed you to other instances of that company's greed and legalese.
