Thank you for watching my Direct From episode! Let me know in the comments about your thoughts on Monsanto and the use of glyphosate. Do you think Monsanto should operate in Puerto Rico?
“We are approved by fda usda” excuse me but slavery was once approved by the American government. Why are people dumb enough to believe white people or white companies will ever or do care about you brown people ?
Great example of environmental injustice. Unfortunately, it is unlikely if we would even be able to feed the world population of over 7 billion people with out industrial agriculture and billions of tons of ag chemicals. Humans have vastly exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet by over population. The only way we have gotten away with it so far is frankenfarming, but nature always bats last and the bill will soon come due!
This video is awesome. You have a wonderful talent at explaining things. I want to watch everything you make. I have lived in PR for 20 years but the video you show of the expansive Farms of Bayer/Monsanto – I didn't know about,Thank you.
Monsanto is pure evil. And now bare owns them. The same company that produced the gas that killed countless people. A match made in hell. I hate these people. Sorry Puerto Rico.
A great leader finds 10 ways to accomplish a goal a lousy leader makes 10 excuses for their failures Ricardo is a lousy leader trying and accomplishing are not same
The executives at Bayer and Monsanto know their chemicals are hurting human beings. Still they continue to manufacture and promote them. Go to any Lowe's store or Home Depot and you'll see the aisles are lined up with Roundup. Monsanto / Bayer is an evil Corporation good needs to be shut down for good. And for the good of humanity.
We need to make them a state, the next time Democrats have the Senate and the presidency we need to just do it….why is this such a debate it's killing the island doing nothing.
GMOs are a net good for agriculture, improving yields. These pesticides being used need to be tested for harmful health effects. These are two separate issues, far too often conflated.
All of that stuttering by the asshat on the right hand side. Christ what a dipshit, he started becoming incoherent ON CAMERA, way to dig your own grave buddy.
Monsanto must be shitty farmers. You don't need weed killer or pestacides if you grow good healthy plants especially if you have nice fertile soil. The only thing they should be spraying is water and manure.
SO WHY ARNT YOU KILLING THOSE STUPID SHIT MONSTERS FROM DESTROYING YOUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND,.?? –if the P. R. people wernt doing soo much crazy shit in that region, abusers couldn't come there to do shit
There is plenty of land to feed everyone there in Puerto Rico, and possibly export food to places with harsh environments, but it is all being used to support big corporations. A textbook example of Neo-colonialism.

… they are criminals…they don't give a damn about people… Disgusting! Not acceptable! …a shame for our governments that have allow this….
Let MONSANTO and BAYER, an AMERICAN/white owned company do this shit to their OWN people and use it on their OWN land.

Well done.
Dena's bad AF but wears loose fitting pants to not show it off. Love this lady.

Corruption corporation

Even Vegetarians do not want poison soy
Puerto Rico's government can make them leave if government does not reelect new representatives
¿No hay otro en español para que entendamos qué está haciendo en nuestra isla?
GMO labels isn't enough, a GMO ban isn't enough, we need executions of Executive ego profit from our death. Maybe then they'd get it.
I'm against capital punishment overall, but I'm for a CEO exemption
Monsanto is destroyers of worlds. A true evil empire.
While I'm sick of this Qatari propaganda, lets hope for youtube to delete this channel.
AlJazeera Gay.
The Bayer company was originally created by the Nazis during World War II. They're still engaged in evil practices.

This Governor is the guy that got ousted from office less than a month after this video went up

DC as well but for different reasons.
I'd go destroy that whole field plant by plant one by one

They should not even be there. They will get cancer if they don’t protect their lands and kick them out. Money talks and that’s what it’s all about.
if you are concerned about GMOs consider finding research supported by geneticists. IDK why this topic is so poorly researched yet hotly debated.
its obvious that its all about profit.
