Monsanto does little more than make money at the expense of everyone. The create crops that require the use of more and more chemicals inspite of the marketplace not wanting these crops. Monsanto and governments will force countries that ban GMOs to buy them to justify there efforts to grow them here. More organic means less monsanto, and less brainwashing. Thanks for letting me vent...lol. Brent
