Bittman seems to be using a very odd definition of the word "evil". He
admits that Monsanto puts corporate profits above the environment and above
human life. That *is* evil. The fact that Monsanto has to date abstained
from gunning down hordes of orphans doesn't mean they're not evil.

I don't think his definition of the word is odd. "... called Monsanto
³evil² (hard to argue with that one, as long as you equate it with
³immoral² as opposed to a supernatural negative force), ...."

Yep. It depends on your definition of evil and he did make the distinction.
