Owning the Responsibility

It's so easy for me to be disgusted with Monsanto, Genetic Engineering, and Big Ag in general, but the reality is, these things did not exist until Americans left the farm.  And the reason so many left the farm?  Just like all these corporations we are so angry with . . . money!

There was money to be made in the Big City!  Not to mention the convenience of just buying groceries, rather than working the land.  And do you know what happened to the last of the inherited farms?  That's right, sold for the MONEY!  Now, why do so many enjoy loathing Monsanto and Big Ag when they really don't have any different motive than when the farms were sold?  Makin' MONEY!

It's just so much easier to be mad at Big Corporations and Big Ag than it is to be angry with all the individuals who saw their "golden opportunity" and sold to the "Big" in America.  Not that I'm defending GMO or Big Pharma or Big Ag, but the reality is, they don't know any of us individually, and they don't claim to love us or care about the next generation.

We can keep on collectively blaming these entities while buying their products, or . . . we can do something about it on an individual basis.
