There is no way in which their system of GM seeds benefits anyone but themselves - the farmeres are screwed, we are screwed - only monsanto gets the gold in the end, and could be setting us up for one of the worst famine/ starvation disasters in history - it's playing with the worst fire you could possibly start! Personally I am into saving my own seeds, and especially as things with the seed production being 98% in these big GM'ing companies hands now - I am going to save the hell out of my seeds. They can not possibly think they will get on our good side with their greenwashing BS, I am most certain this is to create a identity & false reputation to keep the farmers who are beginning to feel wary of what's going on - a little nudge if you will.
