How much a life? Monsanto trial exposes risks of Roundup herbicide
|
23.8.2018 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
"This case is way bigger than me. I hope it gets the attention that it needs."
-- Dewayne Johnson, former school groundskeeper awarded $289 million in damages from Monsanto
As a Saskatchewan resident for many years, I often heard the phrase "Roundup Ready." It was coined as if it were a harmless jingle for soda pop. The ad still rings in my ears.
All farmers know of Roundup, the most effective weed killer. Most urbanites do as well. The way the corporate giant Monsanto has marketed, promoted, and created an artificial need for Roundup is a true story of profiteering and avarice. Now, finally, even some courts are accepting that it likely kills much more than just weeds and that Monsanto has acted to cover up concerns about the safety of Roundup.
A few years ago, Dewayne Johnson, a courageous man and one who is also dying of cancer, launched a lawsuit against Monsanto. In early August, Johnson had his day in court -- and won. He showed that David can still take down Goliath -- something that some of us ... |

Two important stories about seed and Monsanto
|
20.6.2018 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
Food & Health
For decades, pockets of resistance around the world have been tracking and educating general publics about farmers' right to seed and the importance of not allowing corporations to patent seed or to manipulate genetic material for pure speculation and gain. Behind most of these stories of resistance has been the far-reaching control exercised by corporate giant Monsanto, particularly when it comes to demanding royalties on seed (harken back to Percy Schmeiser ) and modifying seed to be resistant to glysophate, a chemical pesticide it produces and sells under the brand of Roundup.
Yes, we have all heard it said: Roundup Ready! Catchy and scary at the same time.
This week two stories once again are showing how carelessness in food production and a lax regulatory framework, as well as popular pressure and resistance on food issues, can have dramatic results. These stories run deep.
Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) has been monitoring the regulatory climate around genetically ... |
