EU Blocks France's Ban of Monsanto's GM Maize

redletterdave writes with an update to news from a few months ago that France had banned the growing of Monsanto's genetically modified corn. After reviewing the evidence France submitted in support of the ban, the European Food Safety Authority has now rejected it. An official opinion (PDF) stated that they "could not identify any new science-based evidence indicating that maize MON 810 cultivation in the EU poses a significant and imminent risk to the human and animal health or the environment."

The World According to Monsanto

I can honestly say, that even with
- Goldman Sachs basically having half the governments of the world by the throat through load-based trickery,
- Eli Lilly distributing hard drugs to children,
- Haliburton paying governments for mass-murder to make a buck,
- Microsoft being the company equivalent of multiple-time convicted murderer who pays off the government to stay away from the electric chair,
- Shell/Exxon having private armies that kill whole towns in Afrika,
- and Foxconn running what is basically modern Gulags...
that Monsanto is by far the most evil ruthless company I know of in the world.

They are not just openly evil, like those n00bs. They are slowly creeping all-killing tentacles, wrapped around every living thing, oozing the black oil of evilness.
Walking over dead bodies for money would be a large improvement for them.
