Monsanto Fail

Covalence, a Swiss research outfit, ranked the most (and least) ethical corporations in the world.

Monsanto? Dead last.

The least ethical corporation in the world.

Less ethical than Occidental Petroleum. Less ethical than WellPoint. Less ethical than Halliburton. Less ethical than AIG. Less ethical than Altria and Phillip Morris. How awful do you have to be to in order to be out-classed by two tobacco giants?

Good job, Monsanto. Wear it well.

Meanwhile, unless you're exclusively organic, you'll probably eat one or more items of food today containing something from Monsanto. We all will. Unlike many of the others on the list, the least ethical company in the world is probably in your refrigerator or cabinet right now.
