FREE report by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, reveals why nutritional deficiencies are destroying America's health and economy... and how to restore America's future with real food.

Amazingly, some people are still not convinced that U.S. corporations will engage in nearly every sort of subterfuge imaginable in order to make a profit. For those, here's yet another story: Monsanto is under investigation and accused of fixing the prices of genetically altered seeds. If it holds up in court, it will simply prove that yet another U.S. company has ripped off consumers around the world by engaging in dishonest practices.

This sort of activity is rampant in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. When there's money to be made -- especially repeat money on consumables -- most companies, it seems, are willing to break just about any law to make a buck. It's a sad, but true, commentary on the state of business ethics in the United Sates. And, no, it wasn't just Enron.
