I had non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma last Spring and Summer. I have used several different herbicides and pesticides around my small farm and orchard. I have not gotten around to reading the labels yet to see if they contain glyphosate.

Check it out. There are currently 9000 lawsuits pending against Monsanto.

That is a scary report. But, haven’t we always know that this weed killer is not perfectly safe?

Monsanto propaganda machine. The following is from [theguardian.com]

“Monsanto has specifically gone out of its way to bully … and to fight independent researchers,” said the attorney Brent Wisner , who presented internal Monsanto emails that he said showed how the agrochemical company rejected critical research and expert warnings over the years while pursuing and helping to write favorable analyses of their products. “They fought science.”

Well we sprayed its predecessor all over Vietnam. Monsanto drenches farm land & suburban yards with the stuff. Very bad karma.
