The Multiple Ways Monsanto is Putting Normal Seeds Out of Reach

Tags:SCIENCE/HEALTH
People say if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, just don’t buy their GMO seeds.
Not so simple. Where are farmers supposed to get normal seed these days? How are they supposed to avoid contamination of their fields from GM-crops? How are they supposed to stop Monsanto detectives from trespassing or Monsanto from using helicopters to fly over spying on them?
Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking samples and if they find any GMO plants growing there (or say they have), they then sue, saying they own the crop. It’s a way to make money since farmers can’t fight back and court and they settle because they have no choice.

Best thing for a farmer to do is sue monsanto for letting their mutant seeds get on the farm. Even better would be to burn down their factory before they kill us all.

Oh brilliant ideas.

Look, as long as Monsanto can successfully lobby the US government to pave the way for an agribusiness takeover of local farming, there really isn't much to talk about.

Maybe Americans should stop blaming these companies for doing what they are designed to do and start focusing exclusively on their government, which determines whether these companies are able to act as they do or not.
