For decades, California has been portrayed as the epicenter of earthquake country. Last year’s disaster movie “San Andreas,” in which a magnitude-9.0 quake lays waste to the state, was just the latest and most spectacular example.
Monsanto is suing the State of California for deciding to include glyphosate, the main ingredient in its Popular weedkiller Roundup, on its Proposition 65 toxic chemicals list. California decided to tell the truth about the toxic chemical after the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen” back in March 2015. However, the biotech giant would prefer it if people didn’t know that glyphosate can ‘probably’ cause cancer.
Monsanto has filed a lawsuit against the State of California in a desperate attempt to hide the fact that their chemical herbicide Roundup causes cancer. Monsanto is complaining that California’s demand that they list glyphosate, the main chemical used in Roundup, as a possible “carcinogen” on its labelling will put people off from buying it.
