Monsanto: Bio engineering Behemoth

in #health8 years ago

Some people may have heard of Monsanto, some have not . Monsanto is a publicly traded American multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation.

Monsanto produces genetically engineered seeds and other big chemicals to kill pests from eating crops.

One of the big controversial topics about Monsanto is that they genetically modify their plants to be more resistant to roundup so that they can sell more round up. A great Scheme in the eye of a profit hungry corporations that squashes anything in their way.

Here is a great YouTube video about Monsanto:

And another great article on Monsanto from Wired.com :

nice post :)

Thanks, I think we need to be aware of companies like this!

My wife actually have a joke when the urge to eat something bad comes along (like a cheap chocolate or other processed food) all we say to the other is Monsanto, and that dampens the will right then and there.

hahah. I know the feeling. That's a good joke. It gets very hard if you try and watch everything you eat. I just stay away from processed foods.

Yup that's pretty much the idea. Just gives more motivation to really make things at home with ingredients that you know and trust.
