The crow flies over the field, darkening an already ominous sky. The lush green field is filled with a special type of corn, genetically modified to withstand insect damage and disease. Good, right? This corn may be on your dinner table next summer, and you will not be told; your kids will eat it. Good, right? The golden hand grenade-shaped corn represents the money Monsanto makes off this product, and the ticking time bomb that this breeding will bear out. The red snake is danger, anger, and a fight between big agriculture and those who are the consumers. Who wins: corn, snake, or bird?
