Pooka User ID: 36721404 United States 01/16/2019 11:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | French authorities on Tuesday officially forbid the sale of a form of controversial weed-killer Roundup following a court ruling that regulators failed to take safety concerns into account when clearing the widely used herbicide. Quoting: Putin's Voluntaryist Roundup, owned by Germany’s Bayer after its purchase of US agro-giant Monsanto last year, contains glyphosate which environmentalists and other critics have long believed causes cancer. The French food and environmental safety agency ANSES said in a statement that sales of Roundup Pro 360 were banned as of Tuesday following a court ruling earlier in the day. “As the ruling took effect immediately, market approval for Roundup Pro 360 has been cancelled,” ANSES said in a statement to AFP. “The sale, distribution and use of Roundup Pro 360 are forbidden as of today.” MORE: [link to www.france24.com (secure)] Wish this country would smarten up on this subject, but that will never happen. Even though there is proof and more proof of the harm caused by RoundUp, we can't ban it because it's part of getting rid of the population, and it does its job very well. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. “I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” Abraham Lincoln I sign all karma given. Would that those giving it to me followed suit. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78839350 Canada 04/30/2020 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My fucking stupid parents have a huge 6 acre treed yard. For the past 30 years, they've been spraying Roundup in a ring around every single tree so that they don't have to get too close to the trees when cutting the grass. And they don't have to use the weedtrimmer to clean up around the trees. Now 30 years later, they seriously can't figure out why all the trees in their yard died and new ones they plant won't grow. It's 6 flat boring acres of moss and grass now. |
