Can anyone explain why so many of our local stores are still stocking Roundup weed killer on their shelves, which must mean that locals are still purchasing it in spite of its widely publicized carcinogenic properties?

Ignorance and indifference are no excuse for continuing to expose us all to Monsanto’s/Bayer’s most toxic product. There are now over 13,000 lawsuits by victims of this weed killer, which contains glyphosate, linked to an increased risk of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Will it take bankruptcy for these companies to stop production?

A few weeds in one’s yard mean nothing compared to a cancer diagnosis due to unnecessary and irresponsible exposure.
