Is Monsanto a company you want speaking to your children or grandchildren?August 9, 2012 As sweet corn containing a genetically engineered toxin is headed toward Wal-Mart produce sections as you read this, it’s time to talk about Monsanto’s evil little kid’s book.

As sweet corn containing a genetically engineered toxin is headed toward Wal-Mart produce sections as you read this, it’s time to talk about Monsanto’s evil little kid’s book.
