This is interesting. For example, anyone who has seen the Corporation loves to go on and on about Monsanto's industrial chemical business, agent orange, and so on. Which is fine, I guess, but Monsanto doesn't even have a chemical division anymore. It was spun off as Solutia in 1997. So, when we're trying to have a serious conversation about the harms and benefits of GMOs, instead we get a bunch of noise about how Monsanto is evil because of their participation in a business they're no longer in and that has nothing to do with agriculture. Huh?
Otherwise smart people are just blindly angry about GMOs for some reason. It's really disappointing.
- nitrogen 14y agoSome people are angry about Monsanto's actual behavior, not about the concept of genetically modified organisms.
