Monsanto also brought Anniston, Alabama into the news. They started producing PCBs there in the 20's and knew in 1969 that PCBs were bad, yet they kept dumping it.

Monsanto's Wikipedia page is also an interesting read.

When it comes to GMO, it's the unintended consequences that concern me. Yes, Roundup-Ready corn has increased corn production, but have you ever wondered how much Roundup ends in your corn chips? Roundup is absorbed by the plant, that's how it kills weeds. Some of it has to end up in the seed head. How much is accumulating in our bodies, like mercury concentrating in tuna (another apex predator). Now, that may not be worth our time worrying about, but has anybody studied it?
