Monsanto and Syngenta have won the prestigious World Food Prize.
Apparently, tampering with the genetic make-up of food and turning something that used to be healthy into poison, tainting the soil, air and water with chemical drift from pesticides like Roundup, killing the bee population of entire continents, and driving small farmers out of business through gratuitous lawsuits and unethical practices, pays big public relations dividends.
The World Food Prize is said to be the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for agriculture. Keep in mind we live in a world where President Barack ‘Drone-the-Children’ Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and where Hillary Clinton, the woman behind the lack of response during the Benghazi massacre, won the American Patriot Award for her “defense of the nation.”
Lest you ask, no this article is not satire, even though the premise is so astoundingly ridiculous that it belies all reason. Full story...
