6. Monsanto

Imagine walking down the street and a tattered man walks up to you, starts telling this morose tale about how he needs money for his family, he is down on his luck, and starving to death. Initially, the first reaction you're most likely to do is pull out your wallet and hand the poor man some money. Later on that day you see the same man, this time he is drunk, destroying things, and being a threat to the public.  Automatically your probably feel like you been bamboozled and, foolish for believing in his story. Unbelievably this scenario is similar to Mosanto's astroturfing company and campaign to cover up their true intentions. Originally Mosanto first made artificial sugar for Coke-Cola, but some how got into the biological chemical field. During WWII, this company help set up lab sites for the Manhattan Project, and created one of the most horrendous herbicide and defoliant used in the Vietnam War "Agent Orange." Since then, Mosanto has changed their field again, now a days they're a agriculture biotechnology corporation. According to Wikipedia Mosanto was Forbes "Company of the Year," in 2010. I wonder how come they don't mention that they are being sued by 300,000 farmers, or why they want to change the starndard for the word "organic." Not to mention farmers who have been using Mosanto's herbicide "Roundup Ready," has seen weeds build up a resistance to the product, which results in a plague of "superweeds" all across the Southeast and parts of the Midwest. Worst of all Mosanto encouraged farmers to only use Roundup  Ready autonomously with their crops, and blamed farmers for overuse of the herbicide. Mosanto is a company that is only worried about racking in money from the public, but not worried about how it will affect our community, so why would why trust anything they say?
