It looks like Monsanto has scored another victory in the U.S. Congress as a last-minute addition to the Agricultural Appropriations Bill for 2013 includes a provision protecting genetically modified seeds from litigation in the face of health risks.
Opposing the inclusion of the rider was Sen.

I have come to realize that the problem isn't Monsanto but it's the government policies that have encouraged the centralization of agricultural business.
