Agrochemical giant Bayer just announced it’s merging with the most hated company on the planet: Monsanto.
These two companies joining into one mega-corporation is truly the stuff of nightmares. Together they would be the biggest seed company AND the biggest pesticide company in the world with control over nearly everything we eat and grow. It means more bee-killing neonics in our fields, more toxic glyphosate on our plates, and more corporate control over our food supply.
But this fight is not over -- in fact it’s just beginning.
Bayer and Monsanto will have to get this merger past regulators in the U.S. and Europe -- and that’s where we come in. We’re already working with some of the world’s top legal minds to prove that the merger violates anti-trust law -- but to convince the regulators to step in, it will take a massive grassroots outcry as well.

It is such a dramatic shame that "The supposedly most intelligent animal on this planet" is also its worst enemy. Very artistic Macro

Amazing image Doug but very concerning notes, it they aren't ruining farming by allowing mining they ruin it with chemicals - not quite sure what kind of a world our grandchildren will inhabit when they are grown up :(

Looks like a hosta flower? When companies get too much power and greed, then money always comes before people and their health. Thanks for keeping us alerted.
