Why the Supreme Court Was the Least of Monsanto Company (MON)’s Concerns Yesterday

It doesn’t take much brain power to see what, over time, this leads to: the use of stronger and stronger chemicals that not only pose a threat to wildlife and the balance of nature, but human health as well.

As people become more and more knowledgeable about the topic – and long-term studies are performed on the effects of GMOs – both to humans and wildlife – I could easily see this pubic outcry being just the tip of the iceberg.

A controversial French study, released late last year, said that rats fed a steady diet of Monsanto Company (NYSE:MON) corn or exposed to allowable amounts of Roundup developed more tumors and died earlier than a control group.

A 30-year study conducted by the Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania also confirmed that organic farming yields just as much as conventional farming (better during droughts, too) with a lower ecological footprint.

It’s important to note, however, that GMO seeds were used for only the last three years of the study, as they weren’t readily available when the study began.

Of course, time will tell if I am right or not, but I think there are better choices for your investment dollars.
