Monsanto are a really nasty company. Have you seen the film 'The Corporation' Twig? If you haven't seen it its a must see. There is a section about Monsanto.

I think you can watch it here:

I actually own a copy of "The Corporation." Excellent documentary! I wish I could get the people who need to see that movie to agree that there are crimes against humanity being foisted upon us by these amoral mega-corporations. But the free-market evangelists cannot seem to hear the voice of reason.
