Lots of talk these days about the bullying of young boys and girls in school by more aggressive students. This brings to my mind the biggest bully of all: the biotech company, Monsanto Corporation.

Taken in context, Monsanto’s list of corporate crimes should have been enough to pull their corporate charter years ago. And yet we allow them to continue to destroy our food supply, our health and the planet. Monsanto or Monsatan?

Take a look at the company’s track record and decide for yourself.

Agent Orange: Monsanto was the major financial beneficiary of this herbicide used to defoliate the jungles of Vietnam and destroy the health of American troops and their offspring. It also allowed Monsanto and other chemical companies to appeal for and receive protection from veterans seeking damages for their exposure to Agent Orange and any future biotech creations.

5. I didn't realize Monsanto made Agent Orange. A few weeks it was revealed

Agent Ontario was used extensively across Ontario including cities like Toronto to control weeds. I wonder whether it was also used across the US.

I know greed. But I cannot even fathom the idea of being so greedy that they would set the world up for starvation. What do they think they are doing?

7. Making money for their stockholders at end of upcoming quarter.

That's the ONLY thing that counts. That, and the CEO bonuses.

Does Not Matter what gets destroyed in the process.
