<IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/roundupgovt2.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="103" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="4436">Monsanto's Government TiesA Monsanto official told the New York Times that
the corporation should not have to take responsibility for the safety of its
food products. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech
food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our
interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's
job."
It would be nice to think the FDA can be trusted with these matters, but
think again. Monsanto has succeeded in insuring that government regulatory
agencies let Monsanto do as it wishes. Take a look:

More Ties In order for the FDA to determine if Monsanto's growth hormones
were safe or not, Monsanto was required to submit a scientific report on that
topic. Margaret Miller, one of Monsanto's researchers put the report together.
Shortly before the report submission, Miller left Monsanto and was hired by the
FDA. Her first job for the FDA was to determine whether or not to approve the
report she wrote for Monsanto. In short, Monsanto approved its own report.
Assisting Miller was another former Monsanto researcher, Susan Sechen. Deciding
whether or not rBGH-derived milk should be labeled fell under the jurisdiction
of another FDA official, Michael Taylor, who previously worked as a lawyer for
Monsanto.

Canolafields were contaminated with Monsanto's genetically engineered Round-Up
Ready Canola by pollen from a nearby farm. Monsanto says it doesn't matter how
the contamination took place, and is therefore demanding Schmeiser pay their
Technology Fee (the fee farmers must pay to grow Monsanto's genetically
engineered products). According to Schmeiser, "I never had anything to do with
Monsanto, outside of buying chemicals. I never signed a contract. If I would go to
St. Louis (Monsanto Headquarters) and contaminate their plots--destroy what
they have worked on for 40 years--I think I would be put in jail and the key
thrown away."

Monsanto Brings Small
Family Dairy to Court<IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/oakhurst.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="107" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="4838">
Oakhurst Dairy has been owned and operated by the same Maine family since
1921, and Monsanto recently attempted to put them out of business. Oakhurst, like
many other dairy producers in the U.S., has been responding to consumer
demand to provide milk free of rBGH, a synthetic hormone banned (for health
reasons) in every industrialized country other than the U.S. Monsanto, the number one
producer of the rBGH synthetic steroid, sued Oakhurst, claiming they should
not have the right to inform their customers that their dairy products do not
contain the Monsanto chemical. Given the intense pressure from the
transnational corporation, Oakhurst was forced to settle out of court, leaving many other
dairies vulnerable to similar attacks from Monsanto.
Monsanto Hid
PCB Pollution for DecadesANNISTON, Ala. -- On the west side of Anniston, the
poor side of Anniston, the people grew berries in their gardens, raised <IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/family.jpg" WIDTH="119" HEIGHT="102" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="3979">hogs
in their back yards, caught bass in the murky streams where their children swam
and played and were baptized. They didn't know their dirt and yards and bass
and kids -- along with the acrid air they breathed -- were all contaminated
with toxic chemicals. They didn't know they lived in one of the most polluted
patches of America.
Now they know. They also know that for nearly 40 years, while producing the
now-banned industrial coolants known as PCBs at a local factory, Monsanto Co..
routinely discharged toxic waste into a west Anniston creek and dumped millions
of pounds of PCBs into oozing open-pit landfills. And thousands of pages of
Monsanto documents -- many emblazoned with warnings such as "CONFIDENTIAL: Read
and Destroy" -- show that for decades, the corporate-giant concealed what it
did and what it knew... (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/pcbs010702.cfm">Read more...</A>)
Monsanto's Agent Orange:The Corporation Continues to Refuse Compensation to
Veterans and Families for Exposure to the Toxic Chemical<IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/vietnam.jpg" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="107" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="5974">The negative health
effects, due to exposure to Monsanto's Agent Orange, have been well documented
over the past three decades. The dioxin in Agent Orange has been accepted
internationally as one of the most toxic chemicals on the planet, causing everything
from severe birth defects, to cancer, to neurological disorders, to death.
But Monsanto has successfully blocked any major movement towards compensating
veterans and civilians who were exposed to the company's Agent Orange.
Long before Agent Orange was used as a herbicide in the Vietnam war, Monsanto
knew of its negative health impacts on humans. Since then, Monsanto has been
unsuccessful at covering its tracks and has even been convicted of fabricating
false research documentation that claims Agent Orange has no negative health
effects, other than a possible skin rash. Thanks to Monsanto's influence, the
Center for Disease Control also released a report claiming veterans were never
exposed to harmful levels of Agent Orange.
As a note, from 1962 to 1970, the US military sprayed 72 million liters of
herbicides, mostly Agent Orange, on over one million Vietnamese civilians and
over 100,000 U.S. troops. As a result, within ten years of the close of the war,
9170 veterans had filed claims for disabilities caused by Agent Orange. The
VA denied compensation to 7709, saying that a facial rash was the only disease
associated with exposure. <IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/vietnamgirl.jpg" WIDTH="140" HEIGHT="126" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="4312">
In 2002, Vietnam requested assistance in dealing with the tens of thousands
of birth defects due to Agent Orange. In order to avoid medical compensation
expenses, Monsanto continues to claim this now banned chemical is not toxic. <A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/agentorange032102.cfm">

Taxpayers Forced to Fund Monsanto's Poisoning of Third WorldMonsanto has also
been implicated in the indiscriminate sale and use of RoundUp Ultra in the
anti-drug fumigation efforts of Plan Colombia. Of the some $1.3 billion of
taxpayers' money earmarked for Plan Colombia, Monsanto has received upwards of $25
million for poviding RoundUp Ultra.
<IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/roundupultra.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="146" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="4827">RoundUp Ultra is a highly concentrated version of Monsanto's glyphosate
herbicide, with additional surfactants to increases its lethality. Local
communities and human rights organizations charge that Ultra is destroying food crops,
water sources and protected areas in the Andes, primarily Colombia.
Paradoxically, the use of RoundUp Ultra has actually increased coca
cultivation in the Andes. As local farming communities are increasingly impacted by
RoundUp Ultra fumigations, many turn to the drug trade as a means of economic
survival. Regional NGOs have estimated that almost 200,000 hectares have been
fumigated with Ultra under Plan Colombia.
Monsanto's Roundup Pesticide Killing Wheat Monsanto also produces the most
commonly used broadleaf pesticide in the world, glyphosate--or Roundup. In
addition to its inherent toxicity as a chemical pesticide, Roundup has now been
found to aid the spread of fusarium head blight in wheat. This disease creates a
toxin in the infected wheat, making the crop unsuitable for human or animal
consumption. Canada's wheat industry is currently being ravaged by this disease.
At the same time, the widespread use of Roundup has resulted in the formation
of "super weeds" --- unwanted plants that have developed an immunity to these
pesticides. Read study <A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/Monsanto/glyphocancer.cfm">linking Monsanto's Roundup to Cancer.</A>
Monsanto Takes Ownership of Public Water ResourcesOver the past century,
global water supplies have been contaminated with the full gamut of <IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/farmwater.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="96" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="5651">Monsanto's
chemicals, including PCBs, dioxin and glyophosate (Roundup). So now the company,
seeing a profitable market niche, is taking control of the public water
resources they polluted, filtering it, and selling it back to the people. In short,
Monsanto is making a double profit by polluting the world's scarce freshwater
resources, privately taking ownership of that water, filtering it, and selling
it back to those who can afford to pay for it.
Monsanto's GE Seeds are Pushing US Agriculture into BankruptcyGenetically
engineered crops are causing an economic disaster for farmers in the U.S. So says
a new report released by Britain's Soil Association. The report is a massive
compilation of data showing GE crops have cost American taxpayers $12 billion
in farm subsidies in the past three years. "Within a few years of the
introduction of GM crops, almost the entire $300 million annual US maize exports to
the EU had disappeared, and the US share of the soya market had decreased," the
report said. In addition, the study says that GE crops have lead to an
increased use of pesticides, while resulting in overall lower crop yields. (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/patent/exposed091702.cfm">Read

Cotton Farmers Going Bankrupt from Monsanto's GE CottonIn India the financial
figures for the recent cotton growing season have finally been crunched. <IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/indiacottonfarmers.jpg" WIDTH="130" HEIGHT="84" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="3940">
Although Monsanto convinced many of India's farmers that buying the more expensive
GE cotton seeds would result in higher yields and better cotton, the reverse
is actually true. Crop yields for GE cotton were 5 TIMES LESS than traditional
Indian cotton and the income from GE cotton was 7 TIMES LESS than
conventional cotton, due to Monsanto's cotton having lower quality short fibers. As a
result of the insurmountable deluge of debt accrued from paying more for the GE
seeds and having a weak crop, more than 100 Indian farmers committed suicide in
the last year. (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/bt_cotton.cfm">Read more..</A>.)

Monsanto's GE Wheat<IMG SRC="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/wheatfarmers.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="3776">The Washington Post and other major publications have been
highlighting a massive new movement of conventional and organic farmers who are
working together to pass state legislation that would put a moratorium on
Monsanto's new genetically engineered wheat. North Dakota farmers recently met with
Monsanto representatives to express their concerns about the new crop. Steven
Pollestad, a conventional farmer, said, "The foreign buyers have flat out said
they won't buy it. And I believe they won't." (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/wheatpost042203.cfm">Read more...</A>)
Japan has announced to the US that if GE wheat is approved here, it is likely
they will completely discontinue importing wheat from American farmers. This
makes up a total of 2.5 million tons of US grown wheat each year---enough to
put thousands of family farmers out of business. Similarly, South Korean
officials gave the US similar warnings in May 2003. In the meantime, Monsanto
continues to test its new GE wheat in fields across the US, despite staunch farmer
opposition throughout North America. (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers..org/ge/japan_wheat.cfm">Read more...</A>)

indicating, "Under current conditions the release of Roundup Ready wheat in
Western Canada would be environmentally unsafe." (<A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/071403_ge_wheat.cfm">Read more...</A>) Despite the
landslide of data revealing probable negative impacts on the environment, the
economy and human health, the FDA is posed to approve Monsanto's GE wheat. Why? <A HREF="http://www.organicconsumers.org/#monsanto">

"Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job."
<BR>It would be nice to think the FDA can be trusted with these matters, but think again. Monsanto has succeeded in insuring that government regulatory agencies let Monsanto do as it wishes. Take a look:

<BR>More Ties In order for the FDA to determine if Monsanto's growth hormones were safe or not, Monsanto was required to submit a scientific report on that topic. Margaret Miller, one of Monsanto's researchers put the report together. Shortly before the report submission, Miller left Monsanto and was hired by the FDA. Her first job for the FDA was to determine whether or not to approve the report she wrote for Monsanto. In short, Monsanto approved its own report. Assisting Miller was another former Monsanto researcher, Susan Sechen. Deciding whether or not rBGH-derived milk should be labeled fell under the jurisdiction of another FDA official, Michael Taylor, who previously worked as a lawyer for Monsanto.
