Between Monsanto, The World Health Organization, Anthony Fauci and the list goes on, I am hurt deeply knowing the the rest of us that are trying to live our lives, We are nothing more than lab rats. You people really are a pimple on the a** of humanity and one day you will be popped.

Roundup ,also known as agent orange is even more dangerous than climate change an example of the effects of agent orange is desease and the loss of forestry, wild Flowers ,bees -pollination . The loss of greenery effecting our air and poisoning the water water. All for the $$$$ Vietnam, an example of the desease this chemical has caused What is the purpose of the FDA
steve says
We have a small farm in central florida , And we love this company. I personally have used roundup at 10 times its normal percentage on the label as I have a spraying service. When a customer tells me to BURN the weeds/grass along a fence line that’s what I do. The worst thing that has happened is my sneakers fall apart—and I lost the skin on my feet for about 2 weeks. But that was my doing not Monsanto’s. Grow up people maybe just maybe some people are predestined to have medical issues. We raise peaches, pears and I have almost 6 acres of fish ponds. We have no problems, My wife and I have taken over the farm from her dad who passed so we have been GIVING away fruit for over 40 years and NO ONE has EVER gotten sick. Monsanto PLEASE feel free to contact me, I am sick and tired of garbage attorneys getting idiots to sign on to suits to go after companies so the attorneys can get rich. People NEED to have common sense; oh but wait that’s the one thing my beautiful country has lost.

Continued poisoning of civilians will have dire consequences for the CEOs of this company. //Fair warning\\

edward says
does monsanto require permission from land owner in writing before doing test plots on farm land? Also does monsanto disclose what is in the test plots to land owner –such as seed and pesticides used ? Also what is the average rent paid per acre of test plot –corn ,soybean ,ect.

Your product, especially herbicide”Roundup” is a farmers friend. Here in my community we need it to boost our cultivation.
Thanks
Steven Dwyer says
Your company this time has gone to far. Monsanto I say this from within , I hope you go under. If the bees disappear so will humans. We will be in such trouble and no amount of money can save us. Not even yours. You destroyed most of the crops this year with your Roundup and now we re gonna suffer the consequences. I wonder what your going to do the day you have to face God.
Joey Valdez says
I’m just wondering if Steven knows when Monsanto will return from ‘far’?
Carol McGraw says
Dear Mr. Hugh Grant, Mr. Pierre Courduroux, and Mr. Brett Begemann:
Since this is the era of “casual” professional correspondence, I feel somewhat comfortable introducing myself in this email. My name is Rosalyn Doucette. That actually is my pen name. You do not need to know my real name now. I am a freelance writer and public speaker in Montana and I have a very loud voice.
The emphasis of many of my messages are intense exposure of the unhealthy, deceptive and deadly lies we have been made to believe about the so called wonders of genetically modified animals and plant foods. Well on behalf of the millions of Americans who are awakening to the mess you have made of our food supply, I am speaking out, and truly the tide is about to turn.
You see, God made food to reproduce after its kind, and you have willingly stepped into the middle of God and life. There are consequences for such actions, and I see very clearly some of your future parts of which are very frightening. Gentlemen, you are in very big trouble. The near future will show just how much peril you are in.
Give Americans back pure seed. Do not penalize farmers for saving their own seed for next years planting, nor force them to abide by your agricultural rules. Do you want your children and grandchildren eating gmo foods all the time? You know it makes humans sterile and does weird things to them because it messes with the human dna.
Destroy all GMO seed. Give us back our farms. Stop supporting torture arenas where livestock and poultry are imprisoned until they are butchered alive. Expose farm raised fish for what it is, and work to stop this filthy industry.
If you do not, you are going to fold, and fold hard. You will lose all your wealth in one day. Your stock will become worthless. You will be a joke to all, and the song of the drunkard. Monsanto will be mocked, and you its leaders will bear the brunt of such railings. This will make you want to run and hide. But, unless you fix this problem Mr. Grant, there will be no where to hide. I shudder to think of how you might feel when your wall of defense is fallen. How will those near you feel? You must repent to God and ask for His protection. The Illuminati does not give up easy. You can’t be in good standing with all the king pins.
And Mr. Courduroux, have you even been given a copy of this memo to read? Are you prepared to lose all? Your cars? Your lovers? Your fortune? I tell you, it is better to lose the whole world and save your soul than to save your power and toys and lose it all in the end as you slip into eternal hell.
Mr. Begemann? What will be your great excuse when you stand before God and He asks you why you lied to and poisoned an entire generation or more? Do you really think He will be impressed when you try to whimper that you were only trying to help? Liar! You are out for the money and you know it! We all know it. BOOM! You’ll hear His voice so loud it will make your cells shake. When you are before the Almighty there will be gene splicing alright…your genes. I’m telling you, Monsanto is doing evil and needs to reverse as fast as possible. The Illuminati that is promising such glory and success is run by Satan, but of course you know this. He is going to lift you up a little bit more because you love money, sex and power more than you love God. But, very soon you will be smashed indiscriminately from his slimy hands only to be shattered on the ground, laughed at with none to help you recover. I suggest you get out of bed with them NOW.
Please start telling the truth about the horrid truth behind gmo foods, and admit that you have been bought off. Don’t be afraid of those that threaten to blackmail you. And don’t blackmail other mega corporations either. These are perilous times to be living in, and if we EVER needed God’s favor it’s now.
One thing I find funny. Are you really asking, “Why does she have to talk about God so much?” Amazing. Isn’t that what you are playing?
Very truly yours,
Rosalyn Doucette
Mike Blackburn says
Your company is the poster child of what an evil corporation looks like. The last thing you ought to be involved in is food production or anything doing with life. It will be enjoyable watching this corporation go bankrupt slowly over time and thrown into the cesspool of failed evil businesses.

John Gallegos says
Well with beating about the bush. I want to see if there is a way to aquire male chick’s/ chickens being destroyed because they will not produce eggs. This idea that some of your critic’s are alleging would seem like a waist. I would like to prove that these birds can be raised to feed the needy. Let me know your thoughts.
Thank you
