Monsanto is one of the leading companies when it comes to GMOs; they have been working on them since the early 1990s. They are also one of the most hated companies in the world. So it’s not surprising that there are a lot of myths about them trying to control the world.Some of the reasons Monsanto is hated are truly legitimate. Here is a list of a few of the more legitimate unethical things the company has done:
Sued farmers they said committed seed piracy
Accused of developing defective crops and selling them
Made a herbicide that caused neurological problems
Creating crops that can only be treated with Monsanto’s herbicides.
And while all of these things (and a whole lot more) have been truly horrendous, it makes them unethical at best. It was all in the pursuit of profit, not world domination. Luckily Monsanto does not own all of the patents for GMOs. They do have a large number of them, but other companies have patents for GMOs as well.
