The problem is not with the product per se, but with the uneducated populace they force it unto. I never saw a Monsanto infomercial, but I'm pretty sure I eat their product every day. No wonder people are unwilling to give them their confidence.

That's why I think this story is great news for the general population. It will hopefully push Monsanto to change its lobbying practices. It should, in my opinion, take some years to really educate (not propagandize) the people instead of spending the millions on a couple of political lobbies. It would have a longer lasting effect. And if they're not willing to educate the people because their product really is a health hazard, so be it!
