My Favorite Pesticide

There have been a number of agricultural chemicals that were declared safe only to be found highly toxic and harmful to human health later on. This leaves questions hanging over the approval process. How can chemicals like dioxins, Agent Orange, and glyphosate be passed through an independent assessment process and approved. How can they be declared safe for the public and approved worldwide. Glyphosate (round up to you and me) has recently been declared probably cancer forming. Media reports said that was based on a split vote by the World Health Organisation Committee where half the committee said it was definitely carcinogenic the other half said it was probably carcinogenic so the declaration still reflects the best possible comment for Monsanto but the least protective to the public.

Monsanto immediately challenged the WHO finding and asked why their findings didn’t agree with Monsanto’s’ own research. It’s not rocket science.  If an independent researcher wants to do research on Monsanto’s’ genetically modified products they have to sign non-disclosure agreements so Monsanto can control the release of the research before they will even allow access to their patented seeds. Farmers are not allowed to make them available either. They too are tightly control by legal agreements. Monsanto is a prodigious litigant. In May 2013 over 2 million people in 52 countries and 436 cities and towns throughout the world participated in protest against Monsanto, their chemicals and patented G.M. foods. If you didn’t hear much about it you may ask yourself why. You would think that’s pretty newsworthy.
