A major agriculture and biotech firm, best known for developing transgenic crop seeds.
Monsanto is used as a catch-all villain in many natural heath/organic
food/manarchist groups that is blamed for every evil thing ever done in the
history of the
world. This is due to a lack of good science
education, and a lot of misinformation about GMO crops, Monsanto's business practices, and agribusiness in general.
Syngenta, Cargill, and Dow Chemical also develop GMO seed varieties, pesticides, and Dow Chemical manufactured napalm, but do not receive the same amount of mob ire as Monsanto.
Tl;
dr Monsanto is a large corporation no better or worse than any other giant corporation, Whole Foods does unethical shit too, stop yelling and take a nap.
