> Yes, in the news of a "Natural Health Newsletter". This newsletter is
authored by a company that is in the business of selling "natural" and
"organic" health care products http://products.mercola.com/

I, too, noticed that the writing in the link presented in the original post
seemed slanted.  While many of the facts presented can be verified, as so
often is the case with propaganda, a toxic payload of insinuation,
speculation and misinformation rides along. A good place to read about spin
is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda.

Check out the facts on this non-current story at
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=monsanto+lyons+verdict+biodegradable&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
in English and French.

And learn more about Monsanto at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto
and Roundup at

While Wikipedia is not always right and not always free of philosophical
bias (who is?), it tends to be a good place to start on finding facts, as
opposed to opinion.  There is at least an attempt at demonstrating that rare
commodity, intellectual honesty, and the community tends to overpower those
with an axe to grind.

(On topics in cultural blind spots, however all bets are off
-- everywhere and anywhere).
