On further study, I found out that Monsanto was responsible for the release of PCBs into the Alabama town of Anniston, causing widespread cancer. Anniston is now a ghost town, the pits where they buried the waste, along with Mercury and Lead still release toxins into watercourses and land.
Thousands have died as a result of this, and are still dying, although the battle for proper compesation goes on.

Apart from Roundup being carcinogenic and toxic, it has an even nastier effect on humans, who do not realise that it is in and on, the food we are eating!
It has been suggested that it kills the micro bacteria in our gut, giving rise to a depleted immune system, thereby causing countless diseases and conditions.
Monsanto's biggest venture is GMO, they have the patent and ownership of GMO crops. Any trace of their crops found in another field constitues theft in their eyes, and thousands of farmers have been sued out of their livelyhoods, lost their land and their homes when pollen from GMO fields has spread to neighbouring farmland see the Nelson case http://www.nelsonfarm.net/
When I am president, I will be dismantlling Monsanto and using their vast amounts of money to try to fix the damage they knowingly caused to our beautiful planet!
