• Do I think it would be better that people knew the atrocities that Monsanto commits or the influence of corporate money in government or government subsidies for our current food system that's a disaster and not sustainable? Yes. That would be really great, but a lot of that information unless you look for it, it's not available to you because that's not the discussion that's happening on mainstream news.

• No es que Monsanto esté ganando dinero de la nada. Gana dinero coaccionando y obligando literalmente a la gente a pagar por lo que era gratis. Por ejemplo, el agua. El agua siempre ha sido gratis. Nunca hemos pagado por beber agua. El Banco Mundial dice que el mal uso del agua se debe a que nunca se le ha puesto un precio comercial. Pero la razón es que los grandes usuarios, la industria, la malgastan y la contaminan.

• Monsanto will not come empty-handed. Monsanto will come with a big bag of money. And because these governments are poor, when they are shown money for their research institutions, for their universities, for their professors, they are very quick to say yes, and I can tell you that when Monsanto came to Kenya, they were able to be given permission to do research in one of our research institutions, and yet there was not a single law to control such research.

• Económicamente, mucha gente cree que no puede permitirse comprar productos ecológicos. Aunque esto puede ser cierto en algunos casos, creo que la mayoría de las veces es una cuestión de prioridad. Creo que es una de las áreas de preocupación más importantes desde el punto de vista ecológico, porque los gigantes petroquímicos -DuPont, Monsanto- ganan mucho dinero envenenándonos.

• For me, the overarching issue here is that we need regulatory agencies that are standing up for us, that do not have a revolving door between, you know, Monsanto, and then suddenly Monsanto lobbyists are in charge of, you know, telling us whether GMOs are, you know, good for our food or not.

• El capitalismo se basa en el principio de que todo tiene que ser propiedad privada; no se puede tener en común. Hay incluso un dogma, que hoy se llama, la "tragedia de los comunes" que sostiene que si las cosas se mantienen en común van a ser destruidas. Si se privatizan, como si se dieran a Bechtel o Monsanto o ExxonMobil, entonces se preservarán porque esa es la religión del capitalista.

• La rBGH supone un riesgo aún mayor para la salud humana de lo que nunca se consideró. La FDA y Monsanto tienen mucho por lo que responder. Teniendo en cuenta los riesgos de cáncer y otros problemas de salud, ¿por qué sigue comercializándose la leche con rBGH?

• ... for nearly 40 years, while producing the now-banned industrial coolants known as PCBs at a local factory, Monsanto Co. routinely discharged toxic waste into a west Anniston creek and dumped millions of pounds of PCBs into oozing open-pit landfills. And thousands of pages of Monsanto documents-many emblazoned with warnings such as "CONFIDENTIAL: Read and Destroy"-show that for decades, the corporate giant concealed what it did and what it knew.

• By making marijuana illegal, the agricultural people can't grab hold of it like they did with corn and wheat. So those companies are scrambling around trying to get hold of it, but they can't, because it's a cottage industry, and it will always be a cottage industry. Because the minute the big companies try to make it their own, like they did with soybeans...like Monsanto, they put their own patent on seeds, and you can't do that with marijuana.

• There is no reason why a company like Monsanto, for example, that is pushing GMOs, cannot go to Kenya, partner with the university, partner with the research institutions, and try to promote - in a responsible way - advanced techniques to help farmers. But this should be done in such a way that the farmers' livelihoods are not undermined because the government is irresponsible or careless, or because it is compromised.

• If you read Wall Street’s reports, they don’t talk of soya bean as originating in China. They don’t talk of soya bean as soya bean. They talk of Monsanto soya. Monsanto soya is protected by a patent. It has a patent number. It is therefore treated as a creation of Monsanto, a product of Monsanto’s intelligence and innovation.

• The poorest of families, the poorest of children, are subsidizing the growth of the largest agribusinesses in the world. I think it’s time we recognized that in free trade the poor farmer, the small farmer, is ending up having to pay royalties to the Monsantos of the world.

• My dad worked for Del Monte and then for Monsanto as one of the chief scientists on the Calgene Flavr Savr Tomato. But it was a huge disaster because the tomato didn't taste good. And then my dad started his own genetics company and I began doing that with him. He and I ran a genetics company for 10 years. And so I sold seeds to Florida.
