If you don't know what Monsanto is, you need to do some reading. They will be (and already are) affecting & invading your life. They are a multi-national food giant that has an unholy alliance with the world governments to put a complete monopoly on the food supply. They have patents on many forms of life itself. They have pushed for laws that make it illegal for you to save seeds grown in your own garden from genetically-modified Monsanto plants. They were behind the Food Control bill that just passed the US Congress.

But instead the genetically modified plants have brought destruction of the soil and massive poverty.
