2. Monsanto officials beaten up by Cotton farmers as Bt.cotton seed failed

When news of a Monsanto senior official's arrival from Mumbai reached the nearby village of Munjala, cotton farmers of the village Karanji, about 140 K.m. from Nagpur located the Monsanto official and took him to their field where a complete failure of �Paras Sudarshan� Bt cotton seed was shown to him.

When the Monsanto representative failed to admit the lapse, he was severely beaten up by the farmers.

It was reported that even a local agriculture officer did not come to his rescue.

3. Because people who are connected to their seed supplies care

the whole reason MonSatan0 has been able to run wild in the US is because it's citizens are divorced from their food almost entirely.

Perhaps that idiot should have just told the truth.
