Monsanto is evil.

July 25, 2010

I saw a similar story about an American farmer. Monsanto’s GMO grain contaminated his field, and Monsanto sued him for a patent infringement because he raised grain for seed to sell to other farmers. Essentially, Monsanto has put all seed growers out of business. Monsanto lobbied for laws to favor themselves, pushed legislators to ratify the bills into law, and then aggressively sought out information on farmers who didn’t buy Monsanto seeds, looked for the patented genes in the grain and sued for infringement. Essentially, Monsanto found a way to control the entire seed industry, because their GMO pollen contaminates all farmfields. Then they pointed to patent laws they had written themselves to justify suing their competition out of business.
