Oh I read her position, with the vague inferences of causation and the misleading presentation of debt structure in an industry that costs up front and then pays off in chunks. Heck, if you've ever read what I say about countries you'll know I'm a huge supporter of governments like India putting in robust protections of their agricultural sector from Western imports(hiya, that's me) and global corporations.
Yet I suppose it's probably too difficult to attack massive corporate lobbies or "free-market-capitalism without government interference" itself. So one summons the terrors of the night in the form of frankenfoods and attacks that instead. At least that way you can get an uneducated and energetic bandwagon. The future of this world is not in rolling back the science of food production. It's not even in keeping it where it is now. The reality of rising global populations, growing dietary requirements, and growing wealth inequity are going to require innovation in producing significant amounts of inexpensive food product off of limited land over the long haul of time. Strong seeds are an integral part of this. If Monsanto is one of the few players actually invested enough to make this happen, the for God's sake take your boundless energy and use it to advocate for patent and intellectual property justice and technological innovations at publicly funded agricultural study centers. University of Iowa, University of Illinois, etc etc etc! Lumping me in as "baselessly" attacking some published PHD for spouting crap when she's spouting crap does not make this some SIDES issue unless you're itching for a fight and you don't much care about the foundations you pick it on.
