Monsanto is evil
My feelings towards Monsanto may strike some as a LITTLE extreme: I tend to think of Monsanto as an agent of the Evil One. The number of suicides in India among farmers is increasing because so many of them bought into the Monsanto line about bigger yields; now they are going broke because they can't afford to buy new seed every year. (Before Monsanto came, farmers would save seeds from some of what they grew and plant that every year.) Plus, there are the farmers in North America who are getting strong-armed into planting Monsanto seed. The Monsanto pollen is blowing in from some other farmer's field and contaminating the farmer's crops. Monsanto goons then come in and threaten to sue the farmer into bankruptcy for theft of intellectual property (allowing the cross-pollenated crops to grow) unless the farmer agrees to buy and plant Monsanto seed exclusively for the next 10 years or so.
