And I will tell you running even a 30 acre farm is backbreaking work.
I could not be the CEO of multiple companies and have a small farm unless I could afford to hire someone to run the farm.

Vani texted me, Food Babe Vani, and said, can you come?

Do you know the history of Bayer?
Tell us.
So Bayer was part of AG Farben, which was a German chemical company, the company that made the gas used in the gas chambers in World War II.
Like, great genetics.
And after the war, they split into five big companies, and Bayer was one of them.
So it's only natural that Bayer would want to own...
Monsanto because Monsanto is doing horrible things both from a chemical perspective, but also from a legal perspective There's tens of thousands of farmers who have committed suicide because the legal approach that's going on from Bayer so Bayer is just an evil company and It's no wonder that Bayer would want Monsanto because they're both doing the same thing and it was poetic justice that right after the acquisition a ten billion dollar fine and
Was at least being considered.
I don't know where it ended up.
So bottom line is these companies are harming the planet.
They're harming humans and they're holding governments hostage to try and prevent what should be the breakup of the companies.
