What are your feelings on Monsanto: The evil corporation in your refrigerator?

Asked by EverRose11 (1041points) January 22nd, 2012

Monsantto was f ounded by Missouri pharmacist John Francis Queeny in 1901, Monsanto is literally everywhere. Just about every non-organic food product available to consumers has some sort of connection with Monsanto. Anyone who can read a label knows that corn, soy and cotton can be found in just about every American food product. Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These genetically enhanced products appear in around 70% of all American processed food products. And Monsanto controls 90% of all genetically engineered seeds. In other words, Monsanto controls—and owns patents on—most of the American food supply. I recently switched to eating just organic and my health has improved more than I had ever imagined.
