Nonsense. Monsanto has the best R&D organization in the industry. They are one of the best managed companies in the world and they consistently grow their profits every year. They are the envy of the industry. They didn't get there by not creating products that people want and need. They didn't become the industry leader by not creating value. If they weren't producing a product that allowed others to better manage their business and make a profit, Monsanto would be an also ran like so many of their competitors.
Mindlessly demonizing successful American industry is the MO of Obama and his radical left minions. This is what they do, and they do it because they are anti-capitalists and because they hate the fact that our system allows for winners and losers. Conservatives shouldn't be joining them.
You've been eating GMO food all your life. You have no choice. How long have you lived? What "dreadful effects"are you currently suffering from?
Total BS. I have every right in the world to think and say that Monsanto sucks if that is what I believe. I can't say that I have never eaten or don't eat their poison, but I'm not happy about it, and try to avoid it as much as I can. Buying organic is pretty easy these days, and that's what I do.

Yes, I’m sure this is true. And they relentlessly go after small farmers who plant their own seeds, taking them to court, driving them out of business. This is just as devastating as the liberal gubmint diverting water from farmlands so some obscure fish could survive.
I would always be on the side of the hardworking INDIVIDUAL who wants to live his life in his own way and thought that Free Republic was pretty much about that. When did this site become a mouthpiece for mega-corporations?
As for “scrawny” vegetables, organic stuff in my markets is always better looking and has more flavor than the other kind. And often is priced competitively.
