Bayer: Una de las piezas del sombrío (y 'petroligárquico') legado de I.G. Farben; proveedor de químicos para los ataques de gas venenoso de la Primera Guerra Mundial; vendedor consciente de vacunas contaminadas con VIH; asesino en masa de abejas; vendedor de cultivos transgénicos contaminados.
Y Monsanto: Volcador de productos químicos tóxicos; vendedor orgulloso de carcinógenos; demandante de granjeros; causa de suicidios de granjeros; supresor de la disidencia científica.
¿Se siente usted seguro sabiendo que un cuarto del suministro de alimentos del mundo pronto estará en sus manos combinadas?
It is hardly surprising that the first thing Bayer did after completing their takeover of Monsanto earlier this month was to announce that they were dropping the Monsanto name, merging the two companies' agrichemical divisions under the Bayer Crop Science name. After all, as everyone knows, Monsanto is one of the most hated corporations in the world. But Bayer itself has an equally atrocious history of death and destruction. Together they are a match made in hell.
