What the beans?

       As if genetically modified crops aren't already scary enough, the company Monsanto intimidates people and skirts around the law. It's terrifying that a company responsible for producing toxic chemicals, such as Roundup, now have a tight grip around the food industry as well. Government run facilities are already frightening because the government can hide as much or as little as it wants to. Monsanto seems to have the government in the palm of its hands, working the justice system to get more and more farmers to comply. 

     All and all the American people should have more of a say when it comes down to the food that they are eating. A 4 to 5 vote in Congress should not justify a monopoly in any food industry. Companies like Monsanto will continue to grow in power and size if precautions aren't taken and eventually it'll be too late to reverse the effects it has already had on soil crops. Unfortunately, Monsanto's power is spreading and will continue to spread if the American people don't take a stand against genetically modified crops.
