It never ceases to amaze me, how much controversy the name Monsanto stirs up.

The waters around this company are so murky, that it's less a question of whether the company operates an unregulated extrajudicial campaign against public awareness of their wares and activity, but rather, what's their spend on it, and how deep do they go?

Food security is frighteningly politicized, to the point of bald militarization (see: Canada's maple syrup). Almost nothing would surprise me.
