The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a United States-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup". Monsanto is also the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed, holding 90% market share for various crops. It is headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Agracetus, owned by Monsanto, exclusively produces Roundup Ready soybean seed for the commercial market. In 2005, it finalized purchase of Seminis Inc, making it the world's largest conventional seed company. Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation and political lobbying practices, have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the anti-globalization movement and environmental activists.

From Google News Search: "Monsanto" Can someone explain what is the main problem with Monsanto and the genetically modified seeds and crops? Q. I've read all the negative stories from the leftists, and from the conspiracy theorists, and i still don't understand what the main problem is.

Then, they have the audacity to try to sue the farmers whose crops they contaminate. Genetically modified seeds are legal because we have allowed the government to become corrupted to the point where laws and regulations are made for special corporate interests rather than for the health and well being of the people. Food irradiation is another example. Monsanto buys the science it needs.
