"Monsanto and government merge into one" - anti-Monsanto protests planned worldwide (VIDEO)







An international protest is planned for May 25 against biotechnology company Monsanto in six continents and demonstrations are planned in tens of countries.

Monsanto, a titan of the emerging biotech industry, has come under attack from environmentalists, agriculturalists and average consumers over the company's conduct in the realm of genetically-modified organisms and genetically-engineered foods.

Despite research on the effects of GMO crops being largely considered inconclusive, Monsanto has lobbied hard in Washington and around the globe to be able to continue manufacturing lab-made foods without the oversight that many have demanded.

Nick Bernabe , the director of Social network "March against Monsanto" joins us for more.
