Avoid Monsanto Products With A New App

…Corporations are not out to get us. They are not in the business of trying to make consumers sick, or purposely using morally-iffy production methods because they are evil. That would imply corporations have some kind of emotional center, and they do not. Despite what the 2010Citizens United Supreme Court ruling may have us believe, corporations are certainly not “people.” They are instead machines built for one purpose, and that purpose is collecting money. Like Melanie, you can’t trust them. But you can trust them to act like corporations.

But to make this system work, their attempts to make money any way they can must be met by an opposition of equal force. If not, it would be like a football team trying to get into the endzone with the opposing team just hanging out on the sidelines: not very fair and kind of silly. Which is where the government comes in. They’re the ones that are supposed to get in the way by creating new laws and agencies that make sure corporations aren’t putting consumers at risk. Corporations will always try to cross the line, that is their nature. But government institutions are around to keep them from doing so.

At least, that’s the way the system’s supposed to work. You wouldn’t know it from the kinds of stuff that GMO developer Monsanto has pulled off in just the past few months alone. They’ve not only snuck an addendum into federal legislation that will allow them to bypass certain testing procedures and won a huge Supreme Court decision against a small farmer over a copyright issue. They’ve also essentially been using taxpayer dollars to market their products abroad.

Read more about Monsanto — and a new app for circumventing them — here.
