Why is Monsanto allowed to exist?

The people there should be hanged in the street.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto

Being a captialist country, the US encourages large companies that make profits and improve living for many. Unfortunately, some of the countries go out of control and do more harm than good.

Unforunately, some companies know how to game the system. Monsanto is one of those companies.

I'm going to spend as much time and effort in replying to this thread as the TC did in starting it.

The head of the FDA is run by a former monsanto executive, you can thank obama for that one

If you think President Obama is the only President to put questionable people in high-profile positions, you are incredibly naive.

Who said he was?

Lots and lots of lobbying money, that's why.

Probably because God was feeling a bit like his Old Testament self when he allowed this company to exist.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"]Company creates product. People Buy product. I see no other reason that it would exist. It creates the BEST seeds, people want to grow more food in less area, Monsanto made that happen. If Monsanto wasn't around, your food would cost much more TC, much, much More.m25105

Probably because it makes most people lives more convenient. Thats usually it.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="m25105"] No it wouldn't. Everything I buy is 100% organic and from countries that doesn't spray their food like crazy. Monsanto is ruining soil, running farmers out of business and making animals sick. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would defend a company that's pure evil. BranKetra

I love when people join on the hating monsanto bandwagon without know anything about the company or anything about genetics

For instance-->

They also genetically alter fruits so they contain less nutrients when fully grown. By doing so, people need to buy more to get what they need to stay healthy. They don't make the best quality seeds unless you mean the ones which will generate the most profit.BranKetra

That was complete BS

If you think expressing BT gene or glyphosphate causes fruit to yield more/less nutrients, then you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]I do, actually. While you probably think it's cool to aim for personal attacks rather than sticking to topic at hand, that's not the best idea in this case.BranKetra

Please inform me of all the genetically engineer fruit-bearing plants monsanto produces and sells seeds for. I will be waiting.

TC makes a really strong argument, and its original thought

EDIT: I mean OP makes a strong argument , because OP fits better in this context

Oh how evil, providing a product that people want and making a profit from it.
