Monsanto is a massive corporation that once produced Agent Orange and PCBS but now produces herbicides, and GMOs - from corn, wheat, soybeans, and even pigs.

GMOs, like those created by Monsanto, are dangerous because of the way they change our environment and Monsanto's herbicides, such as RoundUp, may cause potential health risks to plants, animals, and people alike. An interview with the researcher who reported on these herbicides can be seen here.

Monsanto's GM patents make it illegal for farmers to replant the seed from the former year's crop (a practice down for thousands of years) on the grounds of patent infringement. What this also means is that if a non-GMO crop is somehow altered, naturally, by the Monsanto GMO crops, Monsanto now owns the rights to those seeds as well - making them unplantable the next year.

These practices and more make Monsanto a shady corporation worthy of avoiding.
