Paarlberg brings in celebrity author Vandana Shiva to explain just what is going on. He states, “A 2002 meeting in Rome of five hundred prominent international NGOs, including Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace, even blamed The Green Revolution for the rise in world hunger” (Paarlberg 613).

Monsanto’s very name has at this point come to be loaded a very clear set of preconceived notions in the vast majority of the Western Public Discourse, and the positions are stated essentially as “fact” in much of that discourse.
