The products of Monsanto have been related to many health problems in the past, this is a good background about how much the people of Argentina suffered because of them.

The argentinan farming communities started suffering many different types of health problems after the use of Monsanto products, including cancer.

The whole Argentinian method of rearing beef is a disaster for the environment. However how they could get out of that without a severe hit to their economy no one knows. Unlike other countries which could get rid of monsanto products with a minor loss and a big more work in the fields needed Argentina is stuck if they want to maintain their current lifestyle.

There are many farmers who got sick with cancer despite their healthy lifestyle, and many have attributed that to the extensive use of glyphosate.
