I see your point, however, when it comes to food we can't really choose to go without, unlike with cars or tobacco. The main reason why people have targeted Monsanto, and a few other big food corporations, is for their lack of ethics behind sourcing, genetically creating seeds, abusing their power, and lobbying themselves out of courts.
They damage local environment, they are too well connected with certain political powers and they squeeze farmer's income pipeline to gasps of breath.
Monsanto is a scapegoat that we have targeted, just as we have done with Facebook. There are many other companies out there that have just as little of a moral compass as they do.
companies don't exist in order to be ethical, they exist to make money, if they do anything else then they are not doing the right thing.
This is very true @funbobby51, all corps have a certain amount of evil behind them. I just decided to focus on Monsanto in this post.
it's not really any more evil than a lion eating a gazelle, it's just their nature. As a society we need to make sure that our representatives in government are beholden to the interests of the people instead of the interests of the corporations, if we allow those who serve corporate interests over those of the people to stay in office then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
While no till farming is bad for many reasons it also has many benefits. It is both good and bad, it has a lot of advantages over previous paradigms. That's why farmers choose it.
