from all different sources without fact checking or backing them up with links to studies, etc. So while there maybe a lot of good information there, there seems to be some dicey stuff too.
Apparently this story is two years old, and is suddenly getting posted everywhere and we've seen some with inaccuracies. It's probably getting reprinted now as "news" because of the protests. At any rate, it is preferable to try to always find the best sources possible when you post. The Budapest Times link, while obviously older- has updates to Monsanto's fight over this. I bet if you looked you could find even more recent articles on that.
