OUTDATED -- POV

There is nothing here about Monsanto losing court cases because it fraudulently misrepresented terminator genes as effective when they aren't. There is nothing here about the current outing that GMOs don't provide greater yield than non GMOs. There is nothing here about farmer lawsuits about Roundup pesticide causing cancer. This makes the article NOT NEUTRAL. Please fix the POV issues with this article. 100.15.120.122 (talk) 12:36, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Court cases are covered in Monsanto legal cases. If you have reliable sources covering cases or information that isn't in that article (or this one) point the sources out on the talk page and we can discuss their addition to the article.Dialectric (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Economic Impact

1. When discussing the controversies outside the U.S, the article went at length to describe the negative impacts that Monsanto has had in Argentina, yet failed to adequately mention the economic stimulus GMO crops have provided for the country's crippled economy.

2. Information on China was lacking in comparison to that of the countries. The article mentioned it was controversial, not noting any of effects that GMO soy (good or bad), has had on China. Devinb3 (talk) 19:43, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

disgraceful

This is a sham of an article. It's clearly written by people with an axe to grind against this company. Most if it isn't neutral in the slightest.
