This is the same company that stated

> The overwhelming weight of scientific evidence suggests there are no chronic human effects associated with exposure to PCBs

Monsanto knew the dangers of PCBs yet hid them from the public to generate profits. [http://fusion.net/story/381212/monsanto-pcb-pollution-lawsui...]

Monsanto finally confessed and agreed to pay $700 million to more than 20,000 residents in the first civil suit of its kind. [https://www.honeycolony.com/article/the-little-known-toxic-t...]

Site investigations show that the former Monsanto Corporation's PCB manufacturing plant released the vast majority of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the area. The plant produced PCBs from 1929 until 1971. [https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0...]

There's nothing scientific in a blatant lie. For the background, Monsanto is not trustworthy.

Given that the company can afford to pay for the damages, and that no one has ever been imprisoned for their crimes, maybe start doing it is a good way to stop them. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_legal_cases]

Is that so bad ?
