at npr, The Takeaway

CTO of Monsanto vs India's major antagonist. (The Slickness.. eet ees everywhere.) Perhaps the Larger, both subtle and overt matter is Big-Ag itself (nor does the matter of 'patenting food'/tieing-in an order of magnitude higher costs for farmers) get more than a supercilious rebuttal by Fraley/Monsanto.

Basically, M. Corp avers that all these opponents are hysterical, are misinformed and.. Monsanto just wants to Help (make easy) that Terminal-level of population now projected for 2050. This-all as if.. the present level were not already lethal, when China's et al middle-class expectations are folded in.

The program's audio (~20 min of hour slot) gives the flavor. Separating the propaganda via realistic Refs is lef to the listener, as always. The Indian activist, Vandana Shiva purports to shred the familiar gloss-over Corp-speak of Monsanto's Point-man.

(Fraley claims that M. Corp favors the population 'being informed', etc. (!) It's not a face-to-face, just sequential presentation. Love to see a 2-hr IQ2 version of this huge matter, especially re . the tacit acceptance of splicing-in material from completely unrelated species and imagining that this is no more problematic than hybridization ... and a few more Qs of similar scale.
