"The link below takes you to a story by Tom Philpott about how,  
although all
the real studies say that GM foods are harmful, Bill Clinton, who  
took large
campaign contributions from Monsanto, put a Monsanto attorney in the  
FDA to
break down regulatory hurdles to GM foods, Monsanto's choice of  
businesses
after being fined $700 million for destroying the town of Anniston,  
AL with
PCB pollution. Philpott asks if Billary's policy will differ from  
Bill's.

then "spinning off" the part of the company that infected every living
thing on Earth with PCBs (which were subsequently globally banned but  
which
Monsanto continues to maintain are harmless)."
