Ruffalo writes at EcoWatch.com that it was an uncomfortable move for him, but a necessary one, as "we must call out the people who are doing horrible things when they do them."
On December 2, Ruffalo was waiting to go on the air to discuss Spotlight when he spotted Grant "worm his way through the strong questions he was getting from the CBS team." Ruffalo says Grant's "handlers" had obviously been prepping him for such interviews by supplying him with slick non-answers to interviewers' questions.
The actor, who portrayed the Hulk in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, claims Grant told him that Monsanto needs to do a better job with their messaging, but Ruffalo vehemently disagrees."I simply told him this:
'You are wrong. You are engaged in monopolizing food. You are poisoning people. You are killing small farms. You are killing bees. What you are doing is dead wrong.'
A bead of sweat broke out on his head. 'Well, what I think we are doing is good,' Grant replied.
'I am sure you do,' I told him."
Comment: Truly heart wrenching.
