This is a clip from the French documentary "The World According to Monsanto." It summarizes the history of Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide produced by Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and other companies. It was sprayed extensively during the Vietnam War, leading to a horrific variety of adverse health effects. Monsanto conducted deliberately flawed and coercive studies to "prove" that Agent Orange was safe, causing many Vietnam veterans to be denied sufficient health benefits.

In the late 1990's, Monsanto changed its focus from chemicals like Agent Orange to biotechnology. It now indirectly controls approximately 60% of the world food supply. Monsanto insists that its genetically modified crops are safe.

  • Nice try, Monsanto knew Agent Orange (ALL Agent Orange) was contaminated with dioxin when they sold it to the government. Dioxin is a byproduct of 2,4,5-T. The way the video explains this is not dishonest. You are a shill for war criminals.

  • Aside from the enormous health problems associated with this horrible poison, when I served in the "Iron Triangle", the most heavily sprayed area, was not only utterly useless in helping to win that war, but was also a major handicap in patrolling in that area: We killed all of the trees, but the many weeds which began to proliferate made our patrols a tactical hell. We were not able to spot an enemy sniper, even if he pointed an AK-47 at us from a distance of 10 feet!!
