                Monsanto is a multinational biotechnology corporation. It is the leading producer of weed killer, the spray such as roundup that kills weeds from the root. Monsanto also is the leading producer of genetically engineered seeds. Its headquarters can be found at Creve Coeur, Missouri. They are one of the few companies pioneering in the creation of applying bio technology to agriculture. Monsanto has been around since 1901 founded in St Louis, Missouri. Genetically modified seeds make up for about fifty percent of Monsanto’s Profit.

            I think Monsanto is taking away from the whole foods, having said the genetically modified seeds are no good for our culture. These seeds being produced once grown do not produce more seeds. There are not many things natural about this process. Monsanto is taking away from Americas farms. They are suing small farm owners and taking their land, for simple reasons as if their chemicals went into the farmers cropped and then were tested, if any on Monsanto chemicals were found in the crop, they would began to sue. Forcing farmers to either pay for the chemicals that drifted on to their land or fighting this in court until the farmers are bankrupt.

            Here in America we need more whole foods. Clean nutritious food not containing chemicals is what we thrive for. Having food genetically processed is ruining America. Why take the short cut when it’s hurting the people who helped build this country from ground up, harvesting the foods and selling them. I personally love whole foods and buy locally to support the people really working for the cause of no genetically modified foods or seeds. If we are modifying what nature has provided for us, I think it’s going to go sour and eventually nature will stop helping us. America was built by the people and it should stay like that. We as one have already let it slip so far away. We need to put a stop to it, before Monsanto starts genetically modifying are children.
