As for Monsanto, I find it a bit strange that people are giving them a free pass.

The amazing Roundup Ready is causing the same problem that the blanket use of antibiotics in the livestock industry is causing. Resistant forms of weeds, or as farmers will call them, superweeds. This is a major problem, especially with GMO crops like Canola, where as soon as they finish off one bug with the new and improved pesticide, a new superbug comes along, which costs the farmer even more to spray. Of course, Monsanto doesn't care. 11 billion reasons not to care.

Where will it end? Who the heck knows. But it isn't sustainable at all.
