Back in 2010, a survey by Covalence found Monsanto to be the
least ethical company in the world.
Another year, another award for Monsanto!

Monsanto Wins Worst Company of 2011 Award,
Natural Society has awarded Monsanto the Worst Company of 2011 award
for its ongoing work to threaten human health and the environment.
Currently responsible for 90 percent of all genetically-modified (GM)
seed in the US, the biotechnology giant is also the leader in developing
genetically-modified (GM) seeds and the resulting crops worldwide.
But Monsanto is perhaps best known for its herbicide Roundup, which
many experts link to soil damage and herbicide-resistant superweeds,
not to mention potential health problems.
The article gives plenty of reasons,
and that was even before
the recent hard evidence that both Monsanto's GM corn and Monsanto's Roundup are toxic to humans.
Why do people keep growing that stuff around here and spraying Roundup on it?
