Yep. The chemical cabal and pharmaceutical cabal are the most hidden to Americans right now.

USDA pays farmers each year to not sell their crops. I'm pretty sure we can all find food if Round-up were to disappear.

I'm usually a pro business guy, but seriously, f&%k Monsanto. I'm concerned about the legal precedents this could set, but you know the saying: Bad facts make Bad Law.

Monsanto very well may have cooked the books for their safety data. More light will hit the subject mow.

Exactly. The issue is that an unfavorable outcome for Monsanto in this case could have a "slippery slope" impact on countless other companies whose products have much more tenuous correlations with cancer rates than does RoundUp!. Monsanto's coverup could f&%k a lot of other businesses that did nothing wrong while enriching and emboldening trial lawyers. Like I said, f&%k Monsanto, but there could be some serious unintended consequences of them losing this lawsuit.

Glysophate is considered a probable carcinogen by the WHO. You probably shoudnt be putting Roundup in your bubble baths, but there has been no proof that reasonable exposure causes cancer

Wrong.

This company has poisoned the earth and us at a rate that you will never understand. Cancer rates, ADHD, Alzheimers, Autism, Birth Defects, etc. etc. etc. are directly proportional to the use of Roundup. The product needs to be banned world-wide.
Total bullshite.

That’s what the farmer claimed to the media, then when he went to court it came out that 95% of his field was Monsanto seed. That’s not cross pollination. That’s deliberate theft.
That^.

The absurdity of granting a patent on a fricking seed.
Does that patent apply to only that original DNA code...as soon as there is a genetic variant, with unique properties, does that void the conditions of that specific patent??

Maybe for a year. No bullshite either. We cannot feed the world's population without herbicides...period.

Ummm...are they using Roundup to achieve those yield levels?

Your assertion that the claim is unproven is incorrect. At least in this first trial, the causal relationship between the cancer and glyphosate was proven.
How is it not correct? Monsanto was hit with a judgment because they could not prove that their product did not cause this mans cancer. That’s not how it should work. Outside of living in Nagasaki circa 1945, how do you prove what one factor causes cancer? You can’t.

This just shows me how extremely stupid you are. This isnt just some seed. Millions of dollars of research and development goes into creating GMO's. If you don't think a company should be able to profit off their hard work then you are an idiot. There is good reason why countries with strong proprietary protection laws breed innovation.
