It seems that another month can’t go by without discovering yet another study that once again leads us to believe that Monsanto does not have the best intentions. From contaminating entire farming communities in Argentina, developing herbicides that are decimating the worldwide bee population, putting small farmers out of business with their cutthroat business models, or forcing GMOs down our throats to maximize their profits.
