Are farmers using roundup going to be held liable for the harm their harvests have done to people?

Told my husband when they run out of Monsabto/Bayer money they will come for the farmers next and then gardeners.

Not from what I've read! It stays in the soil!

Yes, that is my point, it is what you read! The science says it doesn't, so there's the rub!

Fair enough. Anyway, the most egregious use is as a harvest desiccant.

It is used on wheat, oats, and many other crops days before harvest. This is what causes the high levels in things like breakfast cereal.

It's called Fake Science

Just a suggestion, do you suppose it would do any good to call the FDA, or to petition them to do a study! It would be great to find the truth in all of this!

How do they "force" farmers to use their GMO seed?

it is not safe at all..the research was bought and paid for by monsanto

Go after the assholes that fabricate the 'science' and then change the laws to force this shit. If the farmers don't follow the 'law' they go bankrupt and lose the farm.

We already are headed that way! Not good times for ag!

There is no law forcing farmers to use roundup or gmo seeds.

True dat! I have never used gmo, except in my garden seed! Almost all corn seed is hybrid, which is basically gmo! What do you use in your garden?

Bringing this up again!

Some people are just uninformed and hate farmers and garden store employees and so on.

Consumers have no idea how entangled the agricultural industry is with the use of Roundup, and how dependent the food supply is in on that chemical.

I think probably what will happen is that the solution will move on from outright banning Roundup to phasing out the generic glyphosate products. Just banning Roundup will really not do much except move agriculture and other users over to using the generic Glyphosate and products containing it.

This may well be true, but the law is the law, you know. New, independent, studies need to be done.

Can you spell Chemtrails?

Yep! My family only farms organic but most of the farmers are given gallons of Roundup for free courtesy of the govt.

You got a link for that claim?

Hybrid vegetables are not GMO. See article below.

Genetically Modified Plants
Hybrids should not be confused with genetically modified organisms–or GMOs–which can be any plant, animal, or microorganism which has been genetically altered using molecular genetics techniques such as gene cloning and protein engineering. Plants like corn that has the pesticide Bt engineered into its genetic makeup to make it resistant to certain pests are GMO crops. Bt is a natural pesticide, but it would never naturally find its way into corn seed.

I know farmers that use that shit and have for a long time. I always wondered why there were no restriction on how much they could purchase and how often.

They spray that shit on like its nothing but water.

If the farmers use Monsanto seed, they are always contractually obligated to follow Monsanto's rules on use of Round-up.

BigD, the science has been pointing to Glyphosate (Roundup) being toxic, carcinogenic, and soil persistent for more than a decade now. The USDA "research" is lying to you. Don't get caught with your pants down.

Glyphosate increases cancer risk by 41%

There's a reason it's an outlawed substance in Europe. It's not permitted to be used on any agricultural products.

My girlfriend thought she was gluten intolerant. She could eat wheat products when she was a child and up until she was 30 years old (about 15 years ago). At age 30 every time she ate a wheat product she developed the symptoms of wheat (gluten) intolerance.

I only use flour from Italy (Grassi organic 00) and made an apple pie bundt cake one day. I asked her to try a piece and she did, but she didn't get any of the symptoms she got from eating wheat processed with glyphosate.

Since then, she can eat anything I make out of Italian flour (with no glyphosate) with no problem. If she eats any wheat product with domestic wheat she gets physically ill.


Read how many countries have banned the use of glyphosate:

Interesting. Thanks.

Wonder if retail outlets will be sued along with the farmers spraying roundup on food crops once the manufacturer becomes bankrupt.

I hadn't heard it was outlawed in Europe!!!

Ever thought about growing Hemp? Extraction companies are looking to buy bulk hemp (cbd)...great profits.

No warning label = liability

I have, but think I would need irrigation. Don't know if it would pencil out!
