Willie Nelson Joins Suit Against Agro Giant Monsanto 
-----------------------------------------------------



The singer Willie Nelson has joined with 300,000 other activists in a
lawsuit against the U.S. agricultural giant Monsanto, citing the
company’s practice of suing small farmers whose fields have been
contaminated by Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds. The suit was
filed as part of the "Occupy the Food System" campaign protesting the
corporate takeover of small farms and the use of harmful pollutants like
Monsanto’s "Roundup" herbicide.
