JEFF DIRECTLY FROM AZNT MGMT THIS WAS NOT DISCUSSED, THE RUMOR HAS IT monsanto goes to fda says we need fda approval for stevia we are going to market it, they go over to brazil, southern edge of aznt property is hot and sunny, had major stevia growing there, monsanto doesn't know it's aznt's land, cuts down all the stevia, goes to export it, brazilian gov't says whoa there monsanto, you have to pay aznt for the export of this stevia, monsanto sends a letter to aznt saying if you think we are paying our competitor money for this stevia your wacked. they burn all the stevia they cut down, come back to u.s.a. tell fda screwit we dont need approval after all we are sticking with what we use now. questions, how could monsanto not know it was aznt's land seems far fetched, why dont they buy stevia from stevita, it's ridiculously expensive, monsanto may have been able to afford to use it only if they cut down their own, which was actually aznt's.
could stevia grow on the southern end of aznt's land, is it dry enough and does it get enough sun?
now if monsanto is in touch with aznt it is for t-o-n not stevia.
that's the rumor, i can't prove it's false so i am living with it for now.
my white knight swears he saw original fu letter from monsanto. cant prove either way, sure sounds good to me
as i told you jeff, icabod, et al are weak posters, we would have caught them already, their entire story is still intact, too many details to be scam, they all check out for the most part.
