US Justice Department and USDA to Investigate Monsanto

Hearings in Iowa are to begin to investigate possible antitrust activities of Monsanto.

What do you think?  Is the fact that 92% of America’s soybeans and 85% of corn are being grown with Monsanto’s seeds a problem?  Is it just as Monsanto claims that they have a superior product so it’s natural for farmers to want to grow their seeds?

Is it normal that in 2000 enough seeds to plant an acre of Round Up ready soybeans cost $17 and now ten years later as much $50?  I guess this is just inflation.

  1. The movie Food Inc. may have given one version of the story. But if you believe even a portion of the facts, then Monsanto engaged in some heavy illegal activity against individual farmers all across the US.

  2. Clusters of men with enlarged breasts and breast cancer linked to Monsanto’s additive in milk cows?
    Obesity problem in USa linked to milk, since the bovine serum began wide spread use in dairy industry, thanks to Monsanto and the FDA?
