EPA-approved GMO insecticide responsible for killing off bees, contaminating entire food chain

> Clothianidin's toxicity is systemic throughout the entire food chain, which could one day lead to the catastrophic destruction of the food supply. The bees also transfer neonicotinoid compounds to other plants and crops not treated with the chemicals, which shows just how persistent these chemicals truly are in the environment

This sort of this is rampant these days. People somehow think that all pesticides = GMO. (This is wrong, of course. Neonics have nothing to do with GMOs). Anyway, even if they aren't they must be bad since they are made by corporations. 

FWIW, Monsanto is in place 224 in the US Fortune 500, behind Sara Lee (220) but ahead of Starbucks (227). 

Bayer's rank (187) can be found in the Global 500, lower than BestBuy (184) but ahead of Lowes (190).  And these big shots lag behind such players as Intel (Global rank 173), UPS (177), even Woolworth's (175). 

In terms of revenues, Bayer has revenues of 50 billion, Monsanto 12 billion a year. Even Dell is doing better than Bayer (62 billion) but not Amazon (48 billion). Land O'Lakes earns more per year than Monsanto.

Compare this to Walmart which rakes in 446 billion a year in revenues, or Exxon (452 billion).
