This has been debunked. [1]
> Where is the great progress in getting the same bland, flavourless, overly-sweet two or three varieties of rice, corn, and potatoes in every friggen store?
Monsanto isn't a sole player, why wouldn't our competitive market provide us with several varieties?
> Is destroying thousands of years of man-driven biodiversity progress?
Man destroyed billions of years of biodiversity from plant to animal species, no one bats an eye, given human tradition of playing around with plants, and everyone loses their mind. Man is currently with its inefficient agriculture potentially causing 85%+ of species extinction events. [2]
Making plants more resistant and nutritious should be a top priority.
Only problem with Monsanto is their ridiculously bad PR. The company is practically the devil in the public eyes, for no particular reason.
