I deal with a older landlord that thinks the same . . .  Monsanto is bad, so bad - I can't use their products on the land.
It all revolves around the negitive press Monsanto has received (kind of made their own bed) and how the public eye preceives them. Currently, Monsanto is concerned with it's bottom line return to investors, right now. The mass's are with them . . . . someday, it could switch and the mass's could be against them - and investors willl leave or they will change course to please the mass's -
Like most subjects - very, very few people can be objective, the mass's seem to speak ignorantly and think they are intelligent.
