I imagine a boardroom scene where this was decided. And you know what? It's a lot like the scene in Star Wars where the Imperials are discussing the merits of owning the Death Star.

that's just fucked up. I still remember when the nuclear power industry was producing propaganda for kids in school about how safe nuclear power is. Ready Kilowatt, anyone?

Monsanto's pro-banana propaganda will have it's work cut out undoing all these anti-banana ads I see everywhere. Banner ad with an animated pic of a banana turning black: "5 Foods you must not eat: Cut down a bit of stomach fat every day by never eating these 5 foods."
Apparently bananas cause ugly stomach fat! Not all the other fatty and nonnutritious shit Americans eat and drink.

Also: Can someone explain this to me: the booklet claims in the game shown above that rice "Reduces Blindness":
"Rice will one day have extra beta-carotene, which is a source of Vitamin A. They call it 'Golden Rice.' It could help fight diseases and blindness."
They're telling kidz that foods with extra beta carotene can actually cure the blind? Or it could one day... who knows! Neat!

Whatever are you talking about, this book says it's from the wonderful people at the "Council for Biotechnology Information" - surely a trustworthy and honest bunch. And in no way would they be connected to industry, or of course they would say so!
