I've seen "Food, Inc." and it is also available WI from Netflix. Monsanto is an demonic company. The founder was an air-head scientist who wanted to "save the world" but his business execs are evil. The TMO has been very outspoken against GMO foods for years.
T Boone Pickens is an asshole very typical of the "ugly rich" I rail against here all the time. He wants to own the earth's water and make us all pay for it. He's a bit like the villain in the last Bond movie who was out to steal water. Fact is there in this day in age we know enough about farming to feed the world cheaply and safely without any help from Monsanto. In the US we overeat anyway (because they are always hawking food to us, lovely capitalism again). If we had a real famine the "skinny minis" would be the first to go and the obese would have the last laugh. IMO, that would be "divine justice" because the "skinny minis" who have never had to diet in their life berate the overweight and tell them it's all because "you eat too much" but anyone who has had weight problems know it is much, much more than that.
