Defending GMOs on grounds that they are not poisonous is like defending manufacturers who exploit

171. I don't use wikipedia. Ann's dead brother is a rather powerful source of evidence

As for the U.S. military sharing the blame, her dad never STOPPED blaming himself for his role in accepting Monsanto's assurance that Agent Orange was harmless to humans. He was crushed when the physicians told him the likely cause of the cancer. By that time, it was a common affliction among former Swift Boat vets. Ann's husband, who is a physician, says that the fact that Agent Orange left nothing alive that it touched should have sounded alarm bells, but like you pointed out, it was another era.

Her dad, Admiral Zumwalt, was felled by the complications of asbestos fibers in his lungs, but that can hardly be laid at the feet of Monanto, as asbestos was widely used on our ships from the time he was commanding them in World War II.

I live in the German Rheinland. Monsanto has very little presence in Europe. Bayer's proposed purchase of it fell through. So it's not like I am presented with the option of boycotting it. You can't boycott something that isn't there.

I'm sure I have a jacket by Hugo Boss somewhere, and like I said, the Bayer deal with Monsanto died. As for the rest of them, it's not due to a conscious boycott, but I do not use things made by Coca-Cola, IBM, Ford, IG Farben, or a host of other companies with checkered pasts (or presents). In our part of the Rheinland, it is still possible to get your food and clothing from local farmers/craftsmen who make/grow their wares the same way they did a hundred years ago. That's the cool part of living in my area of Central Europe. You can live something close to an 18th century life and still be a 20 minute taxi ride from an intercontinental airport.
