Monsanto is a company that produces products for genetically
modified crops, to the public eye. Because of the widespread propaganda, such
as billboards with titles “America’s Farmers Grow America,” people do not know
of their wrong doings. There are not billboards posted mentioning them being
sued, taking lives, and trespassing onto organic farmer’s farmland.
Monsanto’s RoundUp products help kill weeds that may appear
on farmer’s land, without harming the crops. Sounds like a great idea, for
those who do not want to grow organically. However, many American’s want to eat
healthy, and organic crops are a necessity. Monsanto has been suing local
farmers of organic products due to finding traces of their genetically modified
products on organic grower’s land.
Organic growers do not want these products, clearly. What
Monsanto is doing is totally wrong in my viewpoint. Due to the recent law suits
pressed against farmers, people have been taking their lives, and their
children have been taking their lives as well. Farmers rely on their crops to
grow and sell to make a living. With a law suit going on, their business is corrupted.
Monsanto tests farmer’s products for traces of their GM products. Of course,
how these products got here, isn’t due to the farmer’s placement of it.
What about wind storms, and changing weather? This surely
could account for it. Organic growers count on their products to be organic! It
is not their fault that a small trace of their product is found in their fields
by sneaky investigation. Monsanto, to me, seems like a very malicious company.
Why post billboards trying to act supportive of local organic farmers, when they’re
the people behind the ruining of organic farmer’s lives by robbing them of their
jobs? It’s all linked to propaganda, once Monsanto’s wrong doings were in the
public eye, they quickly tried to rebound with positive billboards. It seems to
me that they know of their wrong doings, and are now, like the organic growers,
trying to save their business.
