It interesting to be called misinformed when the reply contains dubious info. Round does NOT biodegrade into harmless chemicals. Simply viewing the documentary the Future of Food or the World According to Monsanto would dispell that.
Round Up is not allowed to state that its biodegradable in France and many European countries because it's not.
I heavily question who Jane Q Public works for because it's like straight out a corporate sales brochure.
The second part about it being some different soy - how is this exactly? And how does one know they aren't getting the GMO soy in the ink? You didn't really address the subject. 90 percent of soy grown is GMO and Monsanto is actively keeping other seeds out of the hands of farmers. So how do they choose not to grow it when they are forced into this by a lack of other options.
Also the GMO crops have never been fully studied and neither has round up because of corruption in the FDA and government. But everything that has been studied has shown why Monsanto wanted to avoid these studies, because none of it is good for human health.
So here are some more links so you can really be informed.
So almost all Soy is Monsanto Roundup Ready GMO soy. In order to grow this Soy you have spray Round Up, a general herbicide (as in it KILLS everything green), over the whole field to get the Soy to grow. So your boss wants to be "green" by buying a product that is grown in a way that kills just about every other single plant. It also has led to untold birth defects, general starvation (when the third world farmers kill their field and then can't afford more Monsanto seed), and not to mention that the Soy is itself now load with these chemicals. But somehow it's green. Go figure.

this first straight from the epa with prolonged exposure to these herbicides leading to kidney damage and reproductive effects.
