    Monsanto doesn’t even exist anymore. It was bought out by the totally not evil company Bayer a while back.

    Of course Bayer has suffered quite a bit of indigestion over gobling up that morsel over the years.

      the totally not evil company Bayer

      Ah, yes, the totally not evil company that (together with BASF and Hoechst, forming the cartel IG Farben) developed chlorine gas for use in world war I.

      The same IG Farben which was the single largest donor to Hitler’s election campaign, and main contributor to the construction of Auschwitz, where they produced synthetic petrol and rubber for use in the war and performed all manner of human experiments, including testing their own Zyklon B gas.

      The same company that decades after the war was still chaired by well known nazis, and profiting from chemicals developed at Auschwitz.

      Yeah, I’m sure Monsanto is in good hands, and feels right at home there.
