Glyphosate: Poison in the Earth, Air, and Water

 

Usually, I try to keep things upbeat and positive on this blog. Sometimes, however, a crime against nature is so egregious, that it simply needs to be called out for the abomination that it is. 

This evil crap is still for sale. Of course, the Monsanto name became synonymous with "evil corporate land-rapists," so Bayer purchased the company, settled billions of dollars in lawsuits, and, in spite of every scientific fact proving that this garbage kills and harms everything it touches, continues to sell Roundup. 

Very briefly - and the evidence is out there for all to see if you take just a second to look.

• The main ingredient, glyphosate, is identified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer.
• It causes non-Hodgkins lymphoma
• It eradicates the wildflower that endangered monarch butterflies need for reproduction
• Runoff damages livestock and fish
• It is toxic to bacteria in the soil
• The EPA lies about its safety, relying on debunked unpublished environmental studies funded by the manufacturer
• It is linked to neurotoxicity, liver disease, thyroid disorders, endocrine disruption, birth defects, testes and sperm damage, breast cancer, and the destruction of gut bacteria

It's not the only product containing glyphosate. More than 750 products in the U.S. contain this garbage. 

It's an amazing rabbit hole if you want to read up on this, and it's shocking. It needs to be stopped.
