#6 Monsanto Monopoly

How do you feel about eating a tomato that has been crossed with flounder DNA? I don't know about you but the thought leaves me a little unsettled. So many questions arise in my mind, but the main one: "Could this be safe?" Thats the worst part, no one knows, because no one has studied the long term effects of genetically engineered crops. Monsanto is in search of a monopoly, and if the public doesnt become aware of this the corporation will succeed. The Monsanto company is falsley advertising what they are. They simply say they support the all american, local farmer and advertise as if they are the local farmers when in reality they are suing and taking everything these farmers have. Not only does the Monsanto Company mass produce and genetically modify crops, they sell  the herbacide known as RoundUp. The worst part is the company sending their biotechnologists out on other peoples land and testing their product to see if it contains traces of their herbacide and then suing them for everything they have for not paying them for using their herbacide. Monsanto is a terrible company and the worst part is how much we support them. From now on I will support my local farmers market to avoid giving any of my money to such a corrupted company.
