Monsanto is a company. It makes Roundup. Roundup kills weeds. It works well. It is very popular. A court says that the Roundup gives a man cancer.

People are not sure what Roundup does to people. Many people think that it is not safe.

Bayer is a big company. It owns Monsanto. It says that Roundup is safe. However, there are 11,000 cases against Bayer in the USA.

Difficult words: weed (a plant which you do not want), court (an institution which says if somebody does or does not do something wrong), case (when you get a lawyer and officially say that something bad is happening).
