FOOD INC

I learned that they give the little chickens shots so that when they so to a food place that they will get sent.The way that they are charted they are not getting shots that aren't clean because so many different chickens touch it all day and if they are not clean it can get in with the shot and go into another chicken.I think they should feed the cows right and just because they have so much corn or it is cheep dose not mean feed it to the cow.If feed it to cows they will get sick and will possibly poison the cows and then could get shut them down.DownedCow_228.jpg



The food we eat today is not healthy for us because it has to much fat and it is sad because that is a cow or some type of animal you are eating.Pasulka‑Meat.jpg


Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1901, by John Francis Queeny, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. He funded the start-up with his own money and capital from a soft drink distributor and gave the company his wife's maiden name. His father-in-law was Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto, a wealthy financier of a sugar company active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies. The company's first product was the artificial sweetener saccharin, which it sold to The Coca-Cola Company.
In 1919, Monsanto established its presence in Europe by entering into a partnership with Graesser's Chemical Works at Cefn Mawr near Ruabon, Wales to produce vanillin, salicylic acid, aspirin and later rubber processing chemicals. This site was later sold and closed in 2010.
In the 1920s, Monsanto expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid, and the decade ended with Queeny's son Edgar Monsanto Queeny taking over the company in 1928.
