GovHowardDean Why is this still on the shelves?

drubald Monsanto e' solo un pretesto per fargli pagare parzialmente e con molto ritardo i successi di IGFarben e di Zyklon B

how much money they have earned in immoral ways, they have to pay for something

ups jmmulet

Sulcus_Gyrus I have a healthy suspicion of evil multinationals, but evidence for teratogenic effects of glyphosate seems to be largely lacking. Adversarial court system not necessarily the best place to find the correct scientific answer.

Earlier this year, a United States jury found glyphosate-based weedkiller Roundup was a 'substantial factor' in causing a man's cancer, the second such court ruling against the herbicide's makers in less than a year.

So why is Roundup (Glyphosate) still sold in Australia at Bunnings, Woolworth's, Coles, Mitre10....

Pretty big....

My dad was old fashioned. Had us kids pull all weeds. As chore, not punishment. Later mom used round up, developed leukemia. Had veggie garden nearby.

French Senate now voting on ban. Cancer link put into doubt. Great eh? 👹

This is cool.

The sum is ridiculous. I wonder what expertise the jury had to decide the case.
