(9,359 posts)It takes a mind as frail as Trump's to believe that any corporation that large has the public's best interest at heart. They're not doing what they're doing for altruistic reasons to feed a growing population.
If they can find a way to invest three cents in order to make 5 cents and drive a competitor out of business then they will do it. It doesn't matter what the cost is to their consumer, health or otherwise.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they are burying evidence. They certainly wouldn't be the first to do it. Big tobacco. Companies, car companies, gun makers etc..etc..etc... have all buried evidence that can be damaging to their market share.
There is also a history of corporations paying for their own research in attempt to muddy the waters of science. Monesto does have a history of paying for "third-party" research and claiming that it's an independent study. Unethical to say the least.
They're a corporation, plain and simple, and the only thing they believe in is the bottom-line.
