Monsanto is infamous for the herbicide Glyphosate, which is widely used for the wheat harvest.
Monsanto eventually sold the rights to Glyphosate to Bayer, who was also subsequently sued.
"Dogs have the highest rate of cancer rate of any mammals ... "
Glyphosate was withdrawn from retail sale in the UK a while ago, but is still available for commercial sale to farmers, who use it (but not exclusively) on grain crops (wheat, oats, barley etc).
"Wisner outlines Monsanto’s malice and blatant disregard for human safety as demonstrated in their own documents and even in their statements and behavior during the trial"
Bread cake pasta and pastry lovers take note!
It's also almost impossible these days to avoid glyphosate in food, as it is so widely used and cross-contamination is a problem. Nevertheless it should not be used directly on organic produce, so buying organic is an option to limit one's exposure.
And now they are pulling the same stunt as Big Pharma did for their quaxxines ...
"A provision, Section 453, has been added to the Appropriations Bill Fiscal Year 2026 (federal spending bill) that would give Bayer-Monsanto immunity from pesticide-harm lawsuits. And lawmakers intend to add a provision into the delayed Farm Bill that would also give Bayer immunity"
Jeffrey Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology reminds us of the story.
