Monsanto (the name) Is No More

The name Monsanto was killed with its acquisition by the German chemical giant Bayer. A smart move considering Monsanto is one of the most hated names in corporate history (and for good reason IMHO).

 The article linked below "Five things to know about Bayer and Monsanto" begins with the sentence "A cancer victim's surprise court victory over US pesticide maker Monsanto". Huh? Surprise? What fumes was this author inhaling? The musky scent of cranial insertion rectus abdominis?

Who did not see this coming was not paying attention (juries being comprised of actual citizens...still). The proximity of the sale with the impending court decision may be pure coincidence, but is at the very least, curious.

 And finally, a price chart of Bayer marked with the relevant points in time (click to enlarge).

    In the meantime the federal government has changed the food labeling again, making it harder and harder to know where GMO seeds have been used.
