22. Right--Whole Foods CAVED to Monsanto...

Thu Apr 19, 2012, 01:25 PM

Apr 2012

...they didn't sell their company to Monsanto.

Whole Foods just agreed to stop openly speaking out against Monsanto and biotech companies
that produce GMOs.

It appears that Monsanto couldn't have a stalwart and credible name like Whole Foods--opposing their
GMO poison. So, Monsanto "bought" off their silence, as they do with every company that is threat
to their poison-for-profit organization.

Whether Monsanto is purchasing the research companies that could reveal their crimes or pressuring
and threatening companies like Whole Foods--into shutting the hell up--Monsanto really knows how to
kill legitimate opposition to their evil.
