In light of the fact that we’re talking about that pesky little issue of, oh you know, just worldwide food safety, I can’t help but laugh at this: multibillion-dollar Goliath corporation Monsanto has taken up blogging.
You know Monsanto, right? The world’s leading producer of genetically modified seeds?
From Monsanto’s blog:
“Today totally rocked! First we bought up a bunch of new patents on nature-made, heirloom seeds — haha, you can’t plant them anymore ‘cuz we OWN them now! Then we funneled a couple hundred thousand “supportive” bucks into various pockets on Capitol Hill just to make sure we’re all on the same page. Oh, and then we had our scientists work on splicing DNA from a new strain of virus into strawberry genes. Those should be hitting the market soon. And before the day was through, we also destroyed as many farmer’s lives as we could by serving up some massive lawsuits against them. Seems that the wind blew our GM seeds from a nearby farm onto their land and those seeds grew into plants. But! Since the farmers didn’t BUY our seeds they’re infringing on our patent. LOL! (Side note: can we sue nature too?) OMG it was seriously the best day ever!!!!”
You’re right. This wasn’t quite word for word from their blog. And that’s because the blog is called “Monsanto According To Monsanto.” Exactly.
Buy organic!

People can’t even leave comments on Monsanto’s blog….that’s not a blog. Although if they did make the option available they’d have pretty nasty comments (especially from me). Thankfully we can fight back with our purchases – great post and keep up the awesome work.
Check us out too – we’re right up your alley!

Wow. When I originally posted this, comments were still enabled on the Monsanto blog — absolutely CLASSIC that they took away that option. Gee, I wonder why?
What a friendly bunch they are!
