Everything can be "cancer linked" There is no proof that Round-Up is harmful. Probably less harmful than bacon or sliced ham.

I doubt many parents would be concerned. As long as it's cheap, and shuts their whiny kids up, job done! Even if you present them with the facts, they'll just put their fingers in their ears.
It's 'Christmas turkey syndrome' - they want one, but they don't want to know about the appalling conditions in which the turkeys were kept. As long as it's on their table belly up on Christmas day, that's all they care about!
