Cassi Creek: Today
was a day of international protest against Monsanto. The corporation has long been involved with
hybridization of food plants and has a leading position in the GMO market
place. Among other things, Monsanto has
moved to patent some genetic material that they have incorporated into much of
the seed grains now sold.
To further
protect their position and profits they introduced the Monsanto Protection
Act. This gift from a greedy and corrupt
Congress is on par with the Citizens United legislation.
As for me, I remember Monsanto as being among the chemical
companies that presented so many VietNam veterans with the gift of Agent
Orange.
