If Monsanto's GMOs are safe, then why does their cafeteria serve only organic food?
Recent science absolves vaccinations as a cause of the increasing incidence of autism in American children, "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people." — U.S. diplomat Henry Kissinger "If corporations are people, I demand to see Monsanto's birth certificate." — educator Barbara Mathieson of Canada
while showing direct correlation with use of Monsanto's Roundup® weed killer on food crops.

Monsanto's Poison Products: Agent Orange
AGENT ORANGE: Did it happen? Yes: I saw the Operation Ranch Hand C-123s spraying near Bien Hoa Airbase in 1967. Did the chemical cause damage?
Yes: A fellow worker in 1987 showed me the ugly permanent damage to the skin of his legs. Does the U.S. government care or take responsibility?
Barely: only recently and only under pressure. Does Monsanto? They still reject the existence of any problem or responsibility.
