Monsanto has, time and time again, been named the world’s most unethical company by many including Action for Our Planet and other eco-friendly publications.
Monsanto began what seems to be their plight against humanity in the 70s, when they created toxic chemical Agent Orange for use in chemical warfare in Vietnam. The effects of Agent Orange were so horrible and devastating that half a million children were born with debilitating birth defects due to exposure and Vietnam residents continue to suffer the poisonous effects today.
Monsanto has since moved on to GMO foods, and owns over 95% of seed patents today. Which means that any farmer accidentally growing unlicensed seeds that have accidentally blown over into their fields are subject to lawsuits, and Monsanto has not hesitated to aggressively sue small farmers, including one 80-something year old man.
Recently, confidential Monsanto reports detailing the company’s cutthroat tactics for squashing smaller competitors and controlling the seed market have been exposed.
Besides being voted the most evil company in the world year after year for their unethical practices and borderline illegal business tactics, a great debate over the safety of GMOs rages on, with Monsanto going as far as to shadily discredit dissenters via fake online profiles.
