Monsanto is a killer. I'm sure there are some things that need to be killed with chemicals, but it's pure tragedy that seeds from Monsanto's GMOs are contaminating organic foods. In this way, Monsanto is stealth in it's destruction of the small organic farmer. The organic farmer's livelihood is based on the premise that the food grown is organic. However, it can't stop the cross-pollination from neighboring farms that use Monsanto's GMOs. Monsanto created a new way to remove competition, no matter how slight. I'm reading about this in Harvest for Hope. It's not the first time I've read about this, but it's the first time I realized that this cross-pollination, this destroying of an organic farmer's credibility was probably planned. Of course Monsanto has to sue the organic farmer, Percy Schmeiser. As noted above Monsanto is a killer. Of course they would think of something like this.
