Roundup has been around for about 50 years if I remember correctly. All of a sudden one person claims he use it and got lymphoma form it and a jury decides to award him millions for that story. Now it’s 42 billion? Pretty soon someone will sue God for giving them cancer and a jury will award them $1 trillion but I’d like to see the lawyers try to collect on that one.
Im not a broad sample but that’s about the time all the farmers round here started dying from cancers. My grandpa and all the locals,
People who oppose GMOs in the food chain were unable to get governments to ban them. So this is their next line of attack IMHO. If there is no Roundup then the rationale for planting GMO crops disappears.
A couple of years ago the UN’s World Health Organization decided that Roundup was a “possible” carcinogen, which has spurred the latest flurry of jury awards.
I think the most honest thing we can say about human health effects from Roundup is that we just don’t know. We particularly don’t know the long-term effects of eating crops that were grown in the stuff.
