Not really. Contrary to what you seem to believe, Monsanto (like any producer) is subject to market pressures. From 2011:
doesn't it scare you even a little that one company is gaining such a hold of the world food supply?
online.wsj.com...
Monsanto is trying to regain its momentum after a rocky year in which farmers balked at the price of its new premium corn seed, SmartStax, and prices for its glyphosate herbicide tumbled as it lost ground to generic competitors.
he State Council, China's cabinet, said in a statement that the world's largest grain producer aims to breed new seeds using China's own biotechnology and set up large seed-breeding bases by 2020.
Yup. Imagine trying to do that over millions of acres of organic corn.
it's simply because we need the man power to get all the weeds out and to maintain a healthy garden without just spraying tons of pesticide and herbicide of all the plants.
Because the world's population continues to grow at a pace that exceeds the production of food? Because there are many places where agriculture is very poorly practiced. Because there are famines.
And if the we need these GMOs in order to feed the world, why are there 10's of millions of children dying every day from starvation still..?

There is no way that I can condone that sort of vandalism.

Sorry but your attacks are the same as the chemtrail crowds. Instead of showing why they are bad you attack the person who wants proof your position is correct.
Maybe you do believe in chemtrails as well.
