A Month Without Monsanto

A Month Without Monsanto:

'via Blog this' 


....what Monsanto subsidiaries have made their way into the natural food aisle?  

"...a tweeter pointed out that Monsanto has a lot of subsidiary companies (including Seminis, De Ruiter, Peotec, Western, DEKLAB, and Asgrow), and through them Monsanto owns a large percentage of the seeds out in the world. I was even more shocked to realize that when Monsanto bought up Western Seeds it officially moved into organics. Their organic line now includes wheat, barley, oats, triticale, beans and peas.
Even if these seeds are purchased by organic farmers and grown organically, they still owe their existence to Monsanto. I could no longer trust the USDA organic label to mean something was Monsanto-free."
