The World According to Monsanto
Thursday January 28
7pm
KWCCSJ
63 Courtland Ave. E Kitchener
With 17\,500 employees\, a 2006 sales figure of $7.5 billion and operations in 46 countries\, Monsanto is the world leader in genetically modified organisms (GMOs)\, as well as one of the most controversial corporations in industrial history. Since its founding in 1901\, the company has faced trial after trial due to the toxicity of its products\, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)\, polystyrene\, devastating herbicides like Agent Orange\, used during the Vietnam war\, and bovine growth hormones\, which are yet unauthorised in Canada and banned in Europe.
