Well Modge back at the height of the Cold War Monsanto ran a nuclear lab called the Mound in Ohio. My late wife worked there as a young woman. She was over-exposed three times and she just died last year of ovarian cancer. To put it plainly Monsanto's careless handling of radioactive materials and other dangerous chemicals killed a lot of young women and men who worked there.
