@jarbear No, GM crops aren't bad by definition, but it depends *what* the modifications are. It's clear Monsanto wants to generalize that all GM is ok. Most likely to relax government oversight, and make more money, possibly introducing potentially dangerous modifications.
@JesusHatesChristians I like how you pulled out that I ignore evidence, presume Monsanto is bad, and lean towards a mob mentality from my comment. Maybe you presume things? Or maybe you ignore evidence? Let me try: The possibility of someone bad mouthing Monsanto = Run to defend one of the worlds largest companies.
@TertleMelon Why else would you have made such a comment unless to imply that, because this was sponsored by Monsanto, that it can only be disinformation?
Glyphosate containing products are acutely toxic to animals, including humans. In addition to eye and skin irritation, headaches, nausea, numbness, elevated blood pressure, and heart palpitations, the surfactant used in Roundup is more acutely toxic than glyphosate itself; the combination of the two is yet more toxic.

Monsanto reminds me of George W. Bush and Cheney. Both are deceptive people who destroyed America and our integrity worldwide.
I was very disillusioned to learn that Obama has also been brain washed by Monsanto. They have done a good job deceiving elected officials and many scientists around the world.
However, this technology has myriad scientists who have done the tests and are opposed to this destruction of agriculture and the planet and the lives of the inhabitants, including people.
Tilling is important to turn under nutrient-rich weeds and other nutrients into the soil. While, the no plow/no tillage system is all about spraying herbicides. Every genetically modified crop in North America has been permitted to expand the use of more herbicides and create a long-term market for the pesticide-biotech company. With incessant spraying, super-weeds are created and more dangerous chemical combos are sprayed.
Sorry, but you've been DEBUNKED by "The World According to Monsanto"
As I've been cruising the GMO related videos, both pro and con, I'm laughing. Honestly, the pro monsanto videos are so funny! I've never seen a more pathetic attempt at PR in all my life.
DEAR MONSANTO, you are exposed. EVERYONE in the comments on all the videos is ANTI MONSANTO. The people who are not account for less than 10%. EVERYONE KNOWS MONSANTO IS EVIL, it's too late for the PR campaign.
you say nothing about why you are anti-monsanto. I am neither pro nor anti monsanto but proGMO.I heard a pretty stupid argument recently by an anti monsanto proponent. He said they are evil because they make farmers buy new seeds every year. Well he doesnt realize that non gmo farmers have to buy new seeds every year! You dont want the same crop every year in case something happens to specifically that crop. Also none of you anti GMO guys know anything about genetics whatsoever which is sad.
Just because he looks like Santa and there is pleasant background music, doesn't mean we should trust him. People are starving because of the corrupt global financial system, not because our farming practices are inefficient.
"It's a myth that this has happened." -How much did monsanto pay him to say that? How about the "thousands of peer reviewed articles" he's read. Nobody writes an article on the G.M.O. that overruns all of the competing organisms, they write about the successful ones that bring in the money.
most ppl who are posting her don't even have half the education or IQ this seasoned Professor has. So go on rambling in ure factless and uneducated ways!
If he had looked at the lab tests and or the people who are sick from BT cotton, then he would not be spreading disinformation. mheaddem is obviously ignorant of what's really happening.
What's the gripe here? If someone agrees with Monsanto -- such as an independent academic scientist like Klaus Aman (a respected Swiss botanist who led the Botanical Garden at the University of Bern) how is that deception or irrational? Sharing his views seems like perhaps they are helping inform public perspectives and not denying anything.
