Monsanto sows seeds of protest
Commentary: Is this corporation saving the world, or ruining it?

DENVER (MarketWatch)
Saturday 5/26/13
— Monsanto Co. may have just planted as much ill-will and suspicion
as it has at any point in its controversial corporate history dating back to 1901.
<snip>
If you look up what protesters are saying, Monsanto is all about its “Frankencorn.”
As one protester’s sign put it:
“Still wondering how the zombie outbreak started? One word: Monsanto.”
<snip>
Protester: “If you’re so proud of your products, why don’t you label them?”
Monsanto: “People will ... prosper, through healthier diets, greater educational opportunities,
and brighter futures fueled by more robust local economies.”
<snip>
You can go with how one protester put it:
“If Monsanto needs a bill to protect them from legal action,
then they must know what they are doing is illegal!”
Or you can go with Monsanto:
“Integrity is the foundation for all that we do.
Integrity includes honesty, decency, consistency, and courage.”
