Monsanto the bad guy again (spoilers!!!)


So the whole plot to kill the scientist was so Big Ag wouldn't lose billions on this new corn. I love that Monsanto is again the villain of a movie! The movie wasn't very good but at least I had that treat at the end.

Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding.

And it was CORN? Wouldn't you consider rice, barley, rye or wheat to be more beneficial to humanity?

They said that a super corn would be bad in the wrong hands? What would these wrong hands do with it, grow corn and feed people?

I think I'm pretty much okay with anyone having the super corn formula.

Obviously modify the new strain to work with their fertilizer and create an even bigger monopoly on high yield crops.

Also I think corn has the highest energy density crop, even though it has less essential vitamins and minerals.

Feed people GMO corn? Sounds delicious.
Corn is nothing but filler anyway. It's pretty much junk that people shouldn't be eating. Even worse when it's Frankencorn.

reply

because at a genetic level corn is easier to manipulate.
Also, corn is the main feed for livestock, so after we worked out the numbers, it helps more people.

Monstanto is the most evil corporation on Earth! Why would it be surprising they are the villains?
