Savvy consumers know that it doesn't just stop at corn on the cob. Word has gotten out that corn syrup turns up in almost every candy and soda, and is as addictive as crack. But how about Febreze? Hand sanitizers? Ethanol car fuel?
That's all corn, too. Making rubber tires? You'll need corn starch. Spark plugs? You can't build a car or a house without corn. Whoever controls the corn controls And the king of American corn is Monsanto, a biotech company.
Unlike evil movie biotech companies -- with their dubious business models of inventing mutants or viruses that kill everyone -- Monsanto built their empire on a pretty boring one two punch: weed killer and seeds. The weed killer, Roundup, is the biggest selling herbicide in the world. The seeds are genetically engineered corn seeds that are immune to Roundup.
If you want to grow corn and kill weeds that hurt the corn, Monsanto has the best product on the market by a mile.
That's why 80 percent of all corn planted in the U. But plants will be plants, and make more seeds, so the farmers don't have to keep buying Monsanto seeds year after year, right? Don't be silly. Monsanto's not going to let their money run away like that.
Their first plan was to incorporate something called a "Terminator" otherwise known as the "let's just stop pretending we're not evil" gene that automatically sterilizes the plant so it can't make any more seeds. Then farmers have to buy new seeds every time they plant, just like nature intended. People objected to this quite a bit for some reason, forcing Monsanto to back down and instead just make farmers sign a contract saying that they won't use the seeds the plants make So instead of screwing farmers with a terminator gene , they're just asking the farmers to agree to screw themselves.
So the next time you're deciding between a Coke or a Pepsi or between a Firestone or a Goodyear , know that whichever way you go, you're buying Monsanto. You're welcome! Just google 'who owns who' and u get a little idea. Almost every choice u have votes haha, food, media etc etc is no real choice unless u choose to dont give a Shit anymore and boykott everything belonging to the big corporations DIY or with friends. This deal has been,in place awhile.
