"Monsanto goes GMO-free in its cafeteria"
This is SO richly ironic that I must share it with everyone�?
The June 2007 ODE magazine reports on page 15 that:
�?B>Monsanto goes GMO-free in its cafeteria�?BR>
�?SPAN>United Kingdom: From now on, staff at the British Headquarters of biotech
giant Monsanto will be eating only non-genetically modified products on
their lunch breaks. Foods containing genetically modified soy and corn are
no longer available in the company cafeteria. Granada Food Services, which
maintains the canteen, is said to be concerned about health risks.
Monsanto’s press department contends that the action was not the result of a
boycott initiated by the worried employees of the U.S. multinational.�?BR>
What is so wonderfully absurd about this is of course, is that ODE reported
this straight (as a good thing), Monsanto is one of the �?if not THE -
leading developer of corn and soy GMO, and that the employees are worried
about ingesting the same foodstuffs they are foisting upon the world. Of
course, if Monsanto states that their own products were NOT banned because
of an employee boycott that means that they were indeed probably reacting to
a boycott, which means that the corporate high-up employees of Monsanto are
thoroughly, shockingly, robustly hypocritical.
