Are Roundup Lawsuits Just the Beginning?

With the popular herbicide Roundup making waves in the legal world, there is a shift in attention to how we grow our food. Is it possible that health problems caused by products like Roundup are just the beginning of a bigger issue?

Roundup Resistant

While the product Roundup is marketed as a product to protect crops from weeds, there is a high cost. Many individuals are now claiming that exposure to the product has led them to be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: a serious form of cancer. Monsanto and Bayer AG now have over 1,300 pending lawsuits in the US alone regarding Roundup. There are also active claims in Canada and Australia as well.

Unknown Outcomes

An article by The Guardian, illustrates how the US is approaching food vs other developed countries. The US views growing food in a “guinea pig” fashion, waiting to ban chemicals and substances until after problems appear. This causes new diseases, pests, and issues to pop up that we may not be able to control.

Health and Cancer Risk

As a result, these products may not show that they are harmful to human and environmental life until it is too late. Like with Roundup, it is possible that more products in the same group can cause potential health issues for individuals in the future.
