Thanks! Checking it out. The more I look into this the more I am feeling like there is less and less to hold against Monsanto, save my general feelings about patents. I almost feel bad that it took until now, until your HN comment pointing it out for me to question my stance. I feel like everything you're sending me I could have found myself from searching.
As someone who considers myself a proponent of facts, analysis, data, science... I'm wondering how I got scooped up in this and didn't challenge myself. Certainly a lesson learned.
Even in the comments on that article, nearly everyone making anti-Monsanto claims avoids providing any sources, yet the responses to them provide plenty of evidence to the contrary.
I'd like to read some valid, solid, data-proven criticisms of Monsanto. I am absolutely willing to entertain any if people can provide them or point me in the right direction. I'll be doing some research on my own now, inspired by this discussion.
Part of the issue is that the internet, documentaries, news articles, etc are all a minefield of misinformation anymore, and we've got to be incredibly careful in our consumption of it.
