To invest in Monsanto is to admit that you don’t care about the future of food, and by extension, the people of this planet. Monsanto has been shown to have a reckless disregard for the safety of their products, and the people who consume them.
You may make a few dollars now, but your children and grandchildren will pay the price. Is it worth it?

Yes, I am sure that Monster Corporate Gene Enslaver Monsanto will make great gains, and that those who have no souls will easily be pleased in investing.
But ask yourself this – when the predictable famine occurs, now that the genetic genie is out of the box, will it matter to you inner self that you’ve made a bundle? Your grandchildren will need to eat, and they will not be nourished by food containing huge percentages of the RoundUp (Formaldehyde based herbicide) Of course, Monsanto never let on to the EPA that it contained Formaldehyde – that little secret was its own, until forensic witness and PhD Dr Bob Simon revealed to this reporter that court opened papers of Monsanto’s contained this dirty secret. Formaldehyde is carcinogenic.
Already poor farmers in India, who did not realize how enslaved that they would be in paying huge prices (relative to the pittances they live on) in order to obtaint he needed herbicide. They didn’t really understand that without the expensive herbicide, the seeds from Monsanto wouldn’;t grow. ANd the agreements that they signed ensure tha they cannot save any seeds!

Maanwhile, in both the USA and in Canada, any farmers whose lands show plants that are RoundUp ready, must be able to prove that they have been purchasers of this seed. If the seed propagates by itself, too bad – Monsanto still puts the farmer into the court system, where the farmer is usually bankrupted. He has two choices – fight Monsanto in court, and hand his farm over to his attorneys in return for their court preparation, or hand his farm over to Monsanto because he can’t afford the fight.

So in essense, Monsanto has toppled the ability of a small individual to own his own land!

Shame on anyone dealing with this company. You are nothing but swine when you do so. Anyone caring to enlighten themselves should watch the following film

I just got back from a ten day trip to China to Beijing, Xiang, Suzhou and Shanghai and was impressed at what I saw regarding agriculture. One sees miles and miles of flat land already mechanized in agriculture and also many farms under greenhouses. Our tour guides did not mention anything about agriculture, and I didn’t ask, just observed by sight. Thanks for filling me in on land stewardship and how it is done in China. One big difference between capitalism and communism is land belongs to the central government in communistic countries. From your article, I conclude that farmers have agricultural rights to the land which they lease from the government and allows them to sell if they wish with the onslaught of urban encroachment and larger sized agricultural operations becoming a trend. In my own opinion, Chinese are good farmers comparable to our own. Agriculture did not look backward from what I saw. If what you said is true, China is going to take a big leap forward in agriculture like what it is doing in other economic sectors. Like anything else, things work in cylces and looks like agriculture on a global scale has bottomed out and working its way up again. It is a good time to invest in agriculture and buy Monsanto shares.

Living in Canada, and recently moving from the prairies where I lived most of my 56 years, I am acutely aware of the situations surrounding the genetic seed developments of Monsanto, and the controversy surrounding their business practices. I also recently saw a late night program on the Documentary Channel about Monsanto’s business practices.
In short, Monsanto has developed patented seeds for crops that are resistent their own brand of herbicide. If you happen to have a crop in a field neighboring a Monsanto seeded crop, and the pollen from the Monsanto seeded crop blows into the neighbors field, the neighbor’s crop is cross pollinated with the patented genes. Monsanto is taking samples of neighboring crops and suing the neighbors for using their patented seeds. Their deep pockets are making it extremely difficult for the neighboring farmers to fight Monsanto in these matters.
But worse, far, far worse, is that you must have Monsanto’s herbicide in order to make your genetically modified crop (whether or not the modification was intended or accidental) survive the weeds that attack such crops.
The more natural, weed resistant seeds that have been available in the past, are becoming cross pollinated by the wind, with these less resistant Monsanto seeds.
In the Canadian prairies (I believe that this is also the practice in the USA), it is now routine to spray the entire Monsanto seeded crop, with Round-up, a Monsanto herbicide, two weeks before the farmer wants to harvest his crop. That herbicide is going directly into our food. The implications here are of global, castastrophic proportions. The day is coming when we will not be able to grow naturally developed crops to eat. And the crops that we are able to grow, these Monsanto genetically altered crops, will need to be sprayed with cancer causing chemicals such as Round-up, because they cannot survive natures weeds without the chemicals.
The end result will be people dying from Monsanto induced cancers, and from starvation when we try to return to natural crops, because it will take a generation to re-introduce the natural seeds. And that may not even be possible. The media is just now starting to get wind of the forthcoming catastrophy. When it becomes generally known in the public, count on Monsanto’s stocks to hit the gutter.

Thank you for these articles — the politics of the bank bailout and the Monsanto piece — which help me become better informed.
