本期节目深入探讨了孟山都公司(现被拜耳公司收购)的历史,揭露了其在越南战争中使用橙剂以及生产和销售草甘膦除草剂(Roundup)等行为对环境和人类健康造成的严重影响。节目主持人Bailey Sarian详细介绍了孟山都公司在安尼斯顿排放多氯联苯(PCBs)导致居民患病,以及其在生产和销售Roundup过程中操纵研究结果、压制异见,并通过控制转基因种子来控制农业市场等不道德行为。此外,节目还讨论了孟山都公司对越南战争中橙剂受害者的不负责任态度以及其对全球食品安全的潜在威胁。通过对这些事件的回顾,节目旨在提醒人们关注大型跨国公司对环境和人类健康的影响,以及企业社会责任的重要性。 节目主持人Bailey Sarian还讲述了孟山都公司从早期生产糖精到成为农业巨头的转变过程,以及其在二战期间为美国提供关键化学品的历史。她指出,孟山都公司早期以创新和进步的形象示人,但其后来的行为却与之背道而驰。节目中还提到了Kate Jenkins博士揭露孟山都操纵研究结果的努力,以及她为帮助越南退伍军人所做出的贡献。最后,节目主持人呼吁人们关注孟山都公司(以及其他类似公司)的行为,并反思大型企业对社会和环境的责任。
