The Monsanto Legacy - A Love Story Turned Catastrophic
What do a love story, a sugar substitute, and genetically modified soybeans have in common?
In this powerful episode, we trace the surprising origin and controversial legacy of Monsanto—from its founding by John Francis Queeny and his wealthy Puerto Rican wife, Olga Monsanto, to its transformation into a chemical and agricultural giant responsible for some of the most debated substances in modern history: saccharin, PCBs, DDT, Agent Orange, and Roundup-ready GMOs.
We’ll explore the scientific and ethical dilemmas behind these creations, uncover the motivations (and self-deceptions) that allowed harmful products to enter—and remain in—our food and ecosystems, and explain why this isn’t just history… it's still happening now.
This episode challenges listeners to think critically about corporate science, public health, and the uncomfortable truths we’re often asked to ignore.
