The below isn't April Fools

Anything that makes food more expensive benefits Monsanto, because it
encourages genetically engineered crops. Crops become more expensive due
to droughts, developing economies eating more meat, and demand for
bio-fuels increasing because of high oil prices. Though Monsanto took a
hit with the economic downturn, analysts say that it is primed for a
come back, noting the strength of the market and the need for such
seeds./ref [3]
In addition to the effects of the economic downturn, Monsanto also faces
governmental push-back abroad. Germany, France, Hungary and Austria, for
example, have all banned some lines of Monsanto corn for health reasons.
Monsanto sued to lift the bans and lost in all 4 instances. [4]
International concerns over health harms from Genetically Modified Foods
make PR important for Monsanto, which has been lambasted in Vogue
Magazine and the movie Food Inc. for dangerous and even predatory
business practices.

Árpád Pusztai (8 September 1930) is a Hungarian-born protein scientist
who has spent most of his career, from 1968-1998, at the Rowett Research
Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland. He is considered the world's foremost
expert on plant lectins, and is the author of 270 papers and three books
on the subject.[1][2]
In 1998 Pusztai publicly announced that the results of his research show
eating genetically modified potato causes harm to rats, leading to his
dismissal from the institute. The resulting controversy over his
dismissal and the attempts to invalidate the conclusions of his research
became known as the Pusztai affair.
In 2005, he received the Whistleblower Award from the German Section of
the International Association of Lawyers against Nuclear Arms (IALANA)
and the Federation of German Scientists (VDW).[3][4]
