I say "how in the world" as a double entendre. Monsanto stretches across so many borders that one wonders if there is anyone big enough to prosecute them.

How could Roundup be bad for you?

They spray it on all the food crops so it must be safe. Has to be all those pesky regulations going on in the foreign countries.
