Is Monsanto world's most evil corporation? Let's discuss on
this. I want to list out some facts but before this let's
understand why Monsanto has this kind of image?
Monsanto is in the business of GMO seeds which are not good for
human health conceptually. Due to this Monsanto is facing this kind
of treatment from the world.
According to me some facts are:
- In 1957, when America was suffering from housing crisis that
time Monsanto with M.I.T. tried to develop modular houses made of
plastic.
- Monsanto took this step in order to help in the time of crisis,
but the experiment failed. It doesn't mean that company is
bad.
- Many companies like DuPont, Dow, BASF, Bayer and Syngenta are
in the same business like Monsanto (GMO seeds) but these companies
are not called evil.
- As these companies are doing their business similarly Monsanto
is also doing business. Then why Monsanto is evil.
- GMO seeds are not good for health but there are many more
products which are not good for health like alcohol, tobacco, Cold
drinks, fast food etc.
- Many companies are in the business of these products but they
are not evil, why?
- Government also gives permission for the sale of these products
in spite of being the fact that products are harmful for human
health.
- If we talk about benefits of GMO seeds, they are really helping
farmers.
- By using GMO seeds plants grow faster, thus helping
farmers.
- Use of pesticides with GMO seeds is less which is good for
human health.
- Food supply increases due to faster growth of plants or crops,
this is helpful at the time of food crisis.
- Costing of food made from GMO crops or seeds is less which
makes it pocket friendly for poor people.
- GMO food has a longer shelf life than the organic food which
makes it durable for long time.
- GMO seeds or food is more nutritious which is good for
health.
- Disease and drought resistant plants need fewer environmental
resources like water and fertilizer, which is good from farming
point of view and this is also pocket friendly for farmers.
- GMO food is more tastey.
- GMO provides some medical benefits to world's population
too.
- If Monsanto is in the business of GMO seeds then looking at the
benefits how this company can be said evil?
- Every coin has two sides if one is good then other will be bad,
same with Monsanto business of GMO seeds.
- It doesn't mean that company is completely in bad practice,
products are also helping some parts of world's population
especially poor.
So, I believe that GMO seeds and food is not good for health in
a long run but on the other side we human beings are also consuming
products like alcohol, junk food etc. which are also not good for
health in a long run.
According to my point of view there are positives and negatives
both with Monsanto like other companies, that's why it is like
discrimination to call Monsanto an evil organization. May be view
is different but we should see all the sides simultaneously.
