Naspime says:
monsanto has to be just about one of the worst companies in the world (well there's quite a few vieing for that title)
Petey says:
why?
Naspime says:
first of all their whole gmo policies
Petey says:
what?
Naspime says:
are you not aware of the evils of the monsanto coroporation???????
i guess not.
Naspime says:
well just today there was an article in the dailiy news about how they pcbs near an alabama town for nearly forty decades at alarming levels
Petey says:
oh, i see.
Naspime says:
but that's just they're old record
Naspime says:
today they're at the forfront as a "life-sciences" company
Naspime says:
here's the article (from the washington post):
Naspime says:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46648-2001Dec31.html
Naspime says:
and of course they're modern day monopoly and how they've manipulated the fda
Naspime says:
...I'll summarize
Naspime says:
monsanto makes a strong pesticide it will kill any bad insects or other pests
Naspime says:
In fact it's so strong it'll even kill many plants
Naspime says:
so monsanto engineers a strain of first soy resistant to their pesticide...they play washington and they don't need fda approval (it's woefully undertested)
Naspime says:
they license the seeds to farmers (you have to buy new seeds every year, can't replant, also have 800 number spy on your fellow farmer)
Naspime says:
and now of course they sell all sorts of crops
Naspime says:
but they've found that these gmo plants aren't neccessarily safe for the enviroment and screw w/ the ecology, plus the pesticides are dangerous
Petey says:
hmmm.
Naspime says:
and also there's some evidence that suggests these crops may be unhealthy to eat
Naspime says:
of course monsanto has covered a great deal of this evidence up
Petey says:
Alex, are you drunk?
Naspime says:
just read the washington post article (if you ahven't already)
Naspime says:
no...just odin and I were talking about it for a while today
Petey says:
oh.
Naspime says:
and this isn't some vast conspiracy...it's appeared in motherjones
Naspime says:
Everyone should know the truth about monsanto
Naspime says:
(as well as all the other bad industries...oil and such)
Naspime says:
this is why gmos are banned in europe
Naspime says:
I just noticed on wired news some organic farmers in canada are suing monsanto along w/ aventis
Petey says:
could you proofread an essay for me quick?
Naspime says:
for gress? I could
Naspime says:
shit I haven't written any
Naspime says:
actually I'm supposed to get off the computer, but I can tomorrow
Petey says:
oh, okay.
