The World According to Monsanto part 1 of 10

If you want to follow up on what you decided to do about GMOs after watching The World According to Monsanto (US NTSC Format), then this book will be a valuable resource.

It should be especially useful for convincing people who are skeptical about the dangers of GMOs. I used to be a skeptic, and this book makes the sort of case that woke me up. Especially convincing was the extensive, painstaking documentation of how Monsanto has corrupted the scientific peer-review process, as well as the government agencies responsible for assessing the safety of Monsanto's products. I can vouch for the author's accuracy in describing the mechanisms used to retaliate against scientists who won't play ball with Monsanto, because I used to collaborate with the Government Accountability Project. The author is also on-target in identifying the scientific organizations that help destroy the careers of honest scientists.

One of the most important questions this book answered for me was, "No matter how evil Monsanto is, how can it possibly collect royalties from farmers all around the world who might plant its GMO soybeans on the sly?" Page 272 gives a convincing answer.
