(62,325 posts)false one. I am not even going to begin to desconstruct that false claim here in this thread. But to see that argument on this site, simply shocks me.
Ever been to one of Monsanto's 'victim' third world countries? Ever talk to the farmers who are now starving in any of those nations?
The ONLY place I have had to debunk that claim was back when I used to post on forums dominated by Bush supporters. That was exactly their argument.
Please if you care at all about your candidate, do not present that as an excuse for pushing Monsanto's GMOs. How arrogant, to destroy entire cultures who were independent and capable of feeding themselves UNTIL that monstrous Corporation destroyed their way of life, stole their independence. It's just disgusting, the total arrogance aside from the criminality involved here, to see any attempt to demean peoples who survived for centuries, until Monsanto destroyed their ability to do so. One of the saddest aspects of this whole tragic, Corporate invasion of the Third World, now moving into the First World.
I know what Monsanto and their GMOs have done to these people. And you wonder why it is THE most HATED Corporation on the planet.
