"It's fascinatin' because we're in uncharted terri-tree," says the genial, Scottish, entertainingly named Hugh Grant, 52. He is the CEO of Monsanto, possibly America's most feared corporation.

First saw this on that Food Inc. Documentary...Crazy that a company that makes Round-Up developed a Soybean that was immune to Round-Up and then patented it so that they actually OWN the seeds from the plants even after they grow and produce new seeds.

That's just insane...and downright scary when you think about it.
