Monsanto Will Soon Be Allowed to Police Itself

Monsanto Scientists Tinker With Life by Combining Genes From Various Organisms and Splicing Them Together - It's Alive!
Monsanto Self Regulation – Do You Trust Monsanto to be Responsible?
Monsanto, enemy of organic farmers and anti-GMO advocates alike, will likely be allowed to conduct its own environmental studies as part of a two-year USDA experiment. But there is no good that can possibly come of an experiment where the company behind nearly every genetically modified crop in our daily diets is allowed to decide whether its products are causing any environmental harm. And Monsanto isn’t the only biotech company that will be permitted to police itself.

If you don’t see a problem with Monsanto self-regulating, then watch the film below about Fox New’s investigative reporters getting fired for trying to report their findings on milk from cows treated with growth hormone and cancer.
