Connecting the Dots in the New World Order (Free subscription) | yesterday
France's highest court has ruled that U.S. agrochemical giant Monsanto had not told the truth about the safety of its best-selling weed-killer, Roundup.

Now that a federal judge has ruled against the process that the FDA used to deregulate the planting of genetically engineered (GE) Roundup Ready sugar beet seeds, industry giants like Monsanto that get their income from those seeds and the pesticides and chemicals those crops depend on are screaming mad. In a recent report on NPR's business program, Marketplace, it's pointed out that more than half...

One of the ways Monsanto will achieve its goal is through...

The debate over whether Monsanto is a corporate sinner or saint FEW companies excite such extreme emotions as Monsanto.

Food, Inc. the book (by Peter Pringle) has nothing whatsoever to do with Food, Inc. the movie - other than that they are both about food.

The book covers the debate over GM crops with a reasoned, science-based analysis. Often it seems that rather than giving...
