Making up incorrect motivations for it and accusing them of covering up for corporations is not a fact, though.

It didn't take me very long to google and find out why they thought it was Monsanto - because it's been reported this week as being Monsanto. Seems like an easy mistake to make - and an equally easy one to politely debunk. That's all I'm saying.
