This is a little off topic but I have to rebut your argument. There's plenty of information and sources cited in this article [1,2,3] and I can't understand the sentiment that the problems with Monsanto are more hype than real. Also, a company dealing with the most important issue in the world doesn't absolve it of wrong-doing (be it illegal or immoral) and nor should it weaken standards that we may apply to others solving "less important issues". Both the means and the ends are important.
