Monsanto's Roundup Reputation Goes From Bad To Worse

"Or you can trade it all for what's behind door number two..." Be honest – whenever you see this set up on a game show you secretly want the contestant to give up the sure thing and take a peek behind door number two. It might be an even greater prize, but it could be a gag gift or nothing at all. But at the point of the big reveal everyone is wondering the same thing – was the contestant right to be greedy?

Last week we witnessed a different kind of big reveal in a court case involving Monsanto's glyphosate-based Roundup – a broad-spectrum herbicide used in commercial agriculture, hobby gardening and landscaping. Unsealed court documents showed appalling evidence of greed on the part of this corporate giant that put the lives and health of many people in danger. But if justice is served in this case, Monsanto will learn that this kind of greed most certainly doesn't pay.
