The Worlds Evilest Corporation

Monsanto C. Smith

Every night many Americans sit at the dinner table with their families, ready to dig in to their home cooked dinner. Their dinners consist of what they think is farm fresh vegetables, and meet that is healthy for them. Little do they know that the farm fresh foods have been genetically altered. According to Ronnie Cummins, The National Director of the Organic Consumers Union, Genetically modified food is a food product or crop that foreign proteins have been gene-spliced (Anonymous, 2002). Since genetically modified food has been introduced it has solved many problems with food supply, until now. Genetically engineered crops are still a very unknown and even in some cases unheard of subject to people globally. This technology, even being such and unknown subject, has quickly and only gaining speed overruns our diets by stating with our most consumed food crops. Genetic material from one organism is inserted in the genetic code of another and by doing this biotechnologist have created vast amounts of different genetically engineered organisms. Organisms such as tomatoes with flounder genes, fish with growth genes, pigs with human growth genes, along with thousands of other plants, animals and insects. There is a power-hungry corporation that is destroying all of humanity's future. This corporation has done anything and everything in their power to gain monopolistic control over the global food supply. They have threatened, bribed, and intimidated farmers who sold out the future of humanity for the almighty dollar. This corporation is known as Monsanto "Monsanto is known as the most evil corporation on this earth today"(Last Name, Date). They are much 0more ruthless and evil than the pharmaceutical business, and even the weapon industry. Corporations are expected to act with some form of human decency. They should act as if they were decent human beings, but they fail to act in this manner because of their never ending mission for more and more of the almighty dollar. Corporations are expected to have reliable science, honest business practices, and respect for human life. Monsanto does none of these. Their science may be reliable but the true outcomes are manipulated therefore, only the positives are globally seen in the spot light. Monsanto’s main focus is to increase corporate profits at all cost, even if it is detrimental to human life. The intent of Monsanto’s seed-and-herbicide business is to trick farmers into a system of economic independence (Enter Citation). Monsanto’s products disrupt and compromise life its self. One major project of Monsanto’s is genetically modified corn. A study was done on rats, having them eat genetically modified corn. Also the rats were given drinking water that had legal levels of chemical fertilizer in it, which is also another of Monsanto's products. In result, fifty percent of male rats and seventy percent of female rats died a premature death. All of the rats that were exposed to thier genetically modified corn even in small doses, suffered ginormous tumors along with severe kidney and liver damage (citation).
Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen was the leader of the study. Some would agree that it is incredibly mind boggling to find out that the USDA (spell out and then use USDA) and FDA(spell out and then use FDA) gave concent of widspread use of genetically modified corn when Seralini, is the first to every study lifetime effects of eating genetically modified organisms. France's Jose Bove, a major oppenent (define?) of Monsanto's GM project, and the vice-chairman of the European Parliament's commission for agriculture, states that "This study finally shows we are right and that it is urgent to quickly review all GMO evaluation processes, National and European food security agencies must carry out new studies financed by public funding to guarantee healthy food for European consumers." (Citation)
The experiment performed by Seralini is perfect examples of Monsanto’s merciless drive for power and relentless strive for money. The experiment shows the horrifying results that genetically altered corn and legal levels of chemical fertilizer run off in the drinking water has on rats, yet Monsanto has somehow skipped procedures of safety regulated by the USDA and FDA. The ability of getting the USDA and FDA to approve for global use without concrete evidence of safety is a great example of the ruthless greed of Monsanto. Millions of dollars are being spent by Monsanto in attempt to defeat the bill that would require genetically modified organisms to be labeled. On the ballot of November 6, 2012, Proposition 37 in California, a Mandatory labeling of genetically modified food, was turned down (citation). This proposition was put on the ballot by a lot of California citizens, also known as “The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act,”if approved it would have required it to label all genetically engineered material including animals fed or injected with genetically engineered materiel.
In sixty-one other countries they label food that is genetically engineered and all California was proposing is simply asking the same. All they wanted was to have the educated choice about the foods they choose, yet Monsanto dishing out millions on fighting this proposition. This is a great example of the power of corporate lobbying. The powerful Monsanto is punishing farmers. Instead of sharing the new technology they have created, they patent and claim dominant ownership over the genetically engineered seeds. Patenting genetically engineered seeds allows Monsanto to use its patent rights to sue farmers in cases of cross-germination. This is just pure abuse of power, farmers who are not growing genetically modified organisms could unknowingly and accidently have a cross-germination and be accused for “stealing” Monsanto property. Monsanto is in pure violation of nature, tinkering with the well balanced nature that Mother Nature has already perfectly engineered herself. Healthy genes with in a plant’s genes are dominated with poisonous genes that breed insecticides right within the crops (citation). Seeds in their natural form can reproduce time and time again, generation to generation. Monsanto has developed knowledge on how to make a seed self-terminate after a single use, this is called a terminator seed. This is one of Monsanto’s major threats to the life on earth. It is beyond the extent of Hitler’s Holocaust, because like the Nazi were detrimental to the Jews and a select few, Monsanto is incredibly harmful to all life on our planet. Once Monsanto has touched the soil, it disables organic and traditional farming procedures. Roundup is an herbicide produced by Monsanto, with its main active ingredient being glyphosate (Citation). Roundup plays a role in Serelini experiment, it is put in the rats water at “ legal levels” for human consumption. Roundup was patented by Monsanto in 1969,glyphosate is derived from a amino acid glycine. Roundup works by being absorbed deep into the plant and its roods until the plant literally withers away. Using roundup is like trapping your farmland into a chemical-based method forever. Millions of acres of farmland are spayed with Roundup and these actions are encouraged greatly by Monsanto. It’s incredible the amount of fabrication that is involved with the science behind Monsanto’s projects. Stating that their products are safe for lifetime use by humans, is insane considering that the test, performed by Monsanto-funded scientist, were only ran for ninety days and then deemed forever safe. Is it mere coincidence or it is proof of their heartless money quest, that the cancer tumors that grew on the rats, in Serenili’s experiment, only developed ninety days or more after the beginning of the test. It makes you wonder, was Monsanto’s tests ran for only ninety days, or is that a cover up and a fabrication of the truth that they don’t want consumers to be aware of? Any credible person such as a scientist, politician, or media group that is in anyway affiliated with Monsanto has lost all credibility in my opinion. In many cases Monsanto has bought off many different experts in many different areas of expertise. The paying off of these experts is another example of the corrupt corporate lobby. Every expert that is being paid off is a sellout, as a kid I guarantee they did not dream of causing a world full of cancer. The paying of these sellouts does not change the fact that corn is still poisonous. Paying them does not make their fabrication reality, weather groups of scientist say it is or not. Even with the experiments proving long-term risks, Congress has not passed a single law to manage genetically engineered products responsibly.

Can you relate Quote to thesis, talk about it how it correlates to Monsanto being a corrupted corportation.
