The Evil of Monsanto

[felix_numinous]

6. They are amazingly evil.

Monsanto Products (past and present)
saccharin
sulfuric acid
polystyrene, and synthetic fibers
herbicides 2,4,5-T, DDT - The use of DDT in the U.S. was banned by Congress in 1972, due
in large efforts to environmentalists, who persisted in the challenge put forth by Rachel
Carson and her book Silent Spring in 1962, which sought to inform the public of the side
effects associated with the insecticide.
Agent Orange used primarily during the Vietnam War as a defoliant agent (later proven to be
highly carcinogenic to any who come into contact with the solution)
Aspartame (NutraSweet)
bovine somatotropin (bovine growth hormone (BST))
PCBs.
Also in this decade, Monsanto operated the Dayton Project, and later Mound Laboratories in
Miamisburg, Ohio, for the Manhattan Project, the development of the first nuclear weapons
and, after 1947, the Atomic Energy Commission.
Monsanto scientists became the first to genetically modify a plant cell in 1982. Five years
later, Monsanto conducted the first field tests of genetically engineered crops.
