The point is, the company profited grandly from the effort and used that profit to propel itself into its current grandeur position of gatekeeper to a significant portion of humanitys' food supply, and considers the literal mass manipulation of food supply key to its continued survival as an entity.
An entity which has no moral issue from profiting, immensely, from the production of poison.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoThere's plenty of reasons to dislike Monsanto for even today, they do have some shitty ways of doing business. But I see no reason to single out Monsanto in the story of Agent Orange, especially that they were the ones to warn everyone about the contamination issues. I'm not a fan of Monsato, but I'm a fan of putting the blame in a precise way, on those responsible and only for the things they're actually responsible for.
- fit2rule 12y agoMonsanto wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for its production of previous poisons which continue to plague the world with death and mayhem. The point is to remember this fact, in considering "The Monsanto of Today", because - just like in the 60's, the Scientists in the Company Producing Foods and Poisons, telling you 'everything is okay' here and now today, was wrong.
