Now Argentina has to decide what is more important: Money or people. What is the number of people who will develop cancer or have birth defects in their children that will be an "acceptable" number to them to offset the profits made? How much more blood money will Monsanto be able to suck out of Argentina, India, and other countries they prey upon with their lies?

    • So much money is at stake as a matter of fact, that the scientist who warned of these health effects received threats and is being bullied to be silent.

      Once again I will state this: If you are now using RoundUp, stop. Boycott this despicable company. It's the only way now. They've bought everything including our government and others.

      GM Soy Wrecks Cultural and Economic Havoc in Argentina.

      Monsanto now has Argentina so dependent on GM soy and Roundup ( like a drug dealer) that even with their people losing money and their health because of it, the country is now in a catch 22 situation. The economy collapses if they stop using it, or their people are doomed to a monoculture with pesticides if they don't. Evil is the only word to use to describe this. But this is the MO of Monsanto in preying on the poor.

      And in this article you read Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant saying that regarding glyphosate, 'the science is shakey.' I would then challenge him to drink down a nice tall glass of it.They were already sued in France for lying about it by placing the word 'biodegradable' on the product. Who the hell do they think they're kidding? Their own employees don't even use it!
