Monsanto

Why is the word "speed

Why is the word "speed" here?

What, exactly, is Monsanto?

Is it a multinational corporation headquartered  in Creve Coeur, Missouri that dominates the world’s food market? Is it a company that aims to exploit innocent farmers and the mind & bodies of consumers everywhere? Is it a company that is officially and utterly Done Here, Buddy?

Or, as states its website, is Monsanto an agricultural company that applies innovation and technoloblah to blah around the blah while producing blah blah blah blah?

Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser’s newest film, Food Inc., would have you believe that  these “so called” industrial food pioneers, and receivers of repetitious Liberal D, are definitely faking the funk on a nasty dunk. You might be asking yourself, which dunk is Monsanto faking? Well, one thing’s for sure, it’s definitely not the windmill. But, contend the movies co-directors, it may have something to do with Monsanto being the world’s leading producer of genetically engineered seeds. Then again, Monsanto’s doneness is also rooted in its regularly screwing over of small, independently owned farms. Perhaps the real answer to this question has nothing to do with the proceeding hypotheses and has everything to do with the fact that Monsanto’s current CEO shares a name with famed British Actor, Hugh Grant.

If you’re still not convinced that Monsanto is Done Here, Buddy, remember this. The cream cheese Shaq spreads on his bagel is definitely pure organic.
