 Monsanto may be Bayer now, but no one will forget the horrific things they have done to American agriculture. 
 Don't be distracted by this company or that company. It is the entire system that is to blame. This is the natural gravity of capitalism. Nothing is spared in the relentless pursuit of more profits. Monsanto was a convenient villain for the capitalists to pretend it is just certain bad actors instead of a system that is filled with contradictions and terrible motivations.
