I'm always hearing folk ragging on Monsanto as though they're a blend of Enron, Hannibal Lector and the Illuminati (most of these folk are leftists but also Alex Jones types).

So can someone posit a cogent, logical, fact based explanation as to why exactly I'm supposed to buy the whole "Monsanto is teh evil" thing?

Arguments I won't buy are:
  • They're a big multinational corporation only interested in making profits, ergo; evil!
  • Frankenfoods man! GMOs are a conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!
  • They ARE part of the Illuminati/Reptilian/Zionist/Bilderberg/whatever conspiracy.

So if one of those is your argument, just go away.
