Monsanto Is Suing California for Trying to Inform People That Roundup Causes Cancer - GoFuckYourself.com

The biotech giant would prefer it if people didn?t know that glyphosate, the main ingredient in its bestselling weedkiller Roundup, is a probable carcinogen.

Once again, Monsanto is trying to take away our right to know, this time about carcinogenic chemicals used in household products and places all around us. In January, Monsanto filed a lawsuit against the state of California for its intent to list glyphosate, the main chemical used in Monsanto?s flagship Roundup herbicide, under California's Proposition 65, a law that mandates notification and labeling of all chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and prohibits their discharge into drinking waters of the state.

Enacted by California voters via ballot initiative in 1986, Prop 65 prohibits any business from knowingly or intentionally exposing any individual to a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving a clear and reasonable warning, and the discharge of such chemical into a source of drinking water is prohibited. The State relies on the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) ? the world?s leading authority on cancer ? as the basis for listing chemicals that are known or probable carcinogens under Prop 65. In 2015, IARC concluded, by a unanimous decision, that glyphosate is ?probably carcinogenic.?

There was a GMO protester collecting signatures in front of the mall today. He asked me for my signature, and I told him that if he could name one thing that Monsanto produces that is GMO, I'll sign it. He thought for a while and finally said, "Corn!". I walked away without adding my signature.
