Monsanto Rep Says Roundup is Safer than Vinegar or Vitamin D3

Mom and daughter team reveals Monsanto's lies! 

agosto 16, 2018 - Today Mckenzie Feldman sent me this video, which she filmed at the Hawaii State Farm Fair http://www.hawaiistatefarmfair.org in 2015. Her mother, the woman speaking in the film, fearlessly asks the Monsanto employee about his perspective on the use of Roundup. We applaud the courage it took to make this film and we acknowledge this dynamic mother-daughter team! Way to go!

We would like to add that this employee, not to excuse his choices but to put it into perspective, simply believed what his employer told him. We know there are thousands of people who work at Monsanto, many of them good people who want to provide for their families, that have been just as hoodwinked as the rest of us. This does not excuse the behavior of misleading the public, however. We ask that anyone who works at any company be responsible for having a job which contributes to the safety of our planet instead of polluting it. If your company is poisoning people, find another job! Be creative and do what inspires you!

Oxford Connecticut Retires Roundup Goes Organic

Oxford Connecticut Retires Roundup and Goes Organic
Northeast Horticultural Services Chosen to Manage Organic Vegetation Control

Monsanto TrialSTRATFORD, CT, agosto 11, 2018 – Oxford, CT residents can breathe a sigh of relief. Glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup, Rodeo and Ranger Pro will no longer be sprayed in their park and on their sidewalks. These carcinogenic herbicides are currently the hot topic in legal circles- the Johnson v Monsanto trial verdict was just announced yesterday and glyphosate herbicide manufacturer Monsanto was found guilty and fined 289.2 million dollars for failing to label their product as a carcinogen and for malice- intentionally covering up that they knew their product was carcinogenic. The plaintiff, Dwayne “Lee” Johnson a school pesticide applicator, used Roundup and Rodeo, had a few accidents, and despite wearing protective gear, he was exposed to the chemicals. He now has Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and tumors on 80% of his body. Lee has a wife and two children and is not expected, by his doctors, to live longer than two years.

The Beginning of The END of the Chemical Era

GREAT, AMAZING, FANTASTIC, WONDROUS NEWS!

Screen_Shot_2018-08-10_at_5.12.19_PM.pngDewayne "Lee" Johnson, a school pesticide applicator with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, WINS his lawsuit against Monsanto! The jury (God Bless them) awarded Johnson 289.2 million dollars! 4000 other plaintiffs are waiting to sue Monsanto and 10,0000 are expected by the end of the year. Surely this decision has Bayer, who now owns Monsanto, reconsidering whether or not to continue to sell glyphosate-based products.

This is a huge win for humanity! Corporations around the world now get that they must take responsibility for the impact of their products! 

Watch the verdict here: 

US Court demands that the EPA must ban chlorpyrifos in 60 days! Chlorpyrifos, a chemical sprayed on food crops, is a known neurotoxin, especially to children, and was supposed to be banned last year. But the ban was revoked by the current administration. Coincidentally, the ban dismissal was enacted after Trump held a meeting with the CEO of Dow, the manufacturers of the chemical, who gave a 1.2 million dollar donation to his campaign. At Moms Across America, we believe that no matter who we vote for, what our political inclinations are, that every public figure has a responsibility to protect our children. This behavior is reprehensible, and we are glad that the courts have the power to reverse that decision and reinstate the ban. We simply cannot allow big business to harm our little kids.

Transcripts of the closing arguments here.

Johnson's lawyer's slides here.

 


Also, in the news is Monsanto on trial and Robert F. Kennedy Jr - one of the lawyers suing Monsanto for the link to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Watch his stellar interview here.

We are so glad he addressed all the health issues we moms have been talking about for years now - and that the media is covering this issue!!!!

Monsanto Trial Closing Statements

Screen_Shot_2018- 08-08 _at_2. 52.53 _PM.pngYesterday was a fascinating, infuriating, inspiring, and extremely complicated day. The closing statements of the Johnson v Monsanto trial were the lawyers final chance to persuade the jury to either hold Monsanto accountable for not labeling their product as a carcinogen ( leading to John's non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) or believe the chemical company when they say their products are safe. Watch the NBC news coverage which includes  Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America!

In the packed San Franciso courtroom, Johnson's lawyer, Brent Wisner did an excellent job of showing that:

  1. Monsanto's Roundup and RangerPro can promote cancer and cause tumor growth.

  2. Monsanto knew this well before Johnson called them to ask if exposure could be connected to his lesions...and yet the doctor responsible failed to return his call.

  3. Monsanto failed to warn consumers with label or safety precautions.

To see the video recap of my interview on Facebook LIVE with Kelly Ryerson of GlyphosateGirl.com who has attended every day of the trial, click here.

New Studies EPA Must Consider in Glyphosate Review

The EPA still has yet to deliver their decision on whether to renew glyphosate for another 15 years or revoke its license. They have been "reviewing" glyphosate for over 10 years.

We continue to remind the EPA of their responsibility to include real science and to protect people and animals, not the profits of the corporations. Here is a recent letter to the EPA. Feel free to use the links to tell your local officials that they need to discontinue the use of glyphosate herbicides.

Dear EPA Pesticide Review Board,

In light of recent studies, we are looking forward to your review of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) resulting in the refusal of the license of glyphosate.

Los surcoreanos se oponen a los transgénicos

Los surcoreanos colaboran con grupos de Japón y EE. UU. Para aumentar la conciencia sobre los riesgos para la salud de los transgénicos

Por Zen Honeycutt, Mamás en todo Estados Unidos

Korea_panel.jpgjulio 19, 2018 en Seúl, Corea del Sur, por primera vez, los surcoreanos organizaron un simposio trilateral entre Corea, Estados Unidos y Japón sobre el sistema de etiquetado sobre el derecho del consumidor a conocer los transgénicos. Más de 200 se reunieron, incluidos líderes de base, profesores, productores de alimentos, ciudadanos preocupados y miembros de la Asamblea Nacional para discutir los riesgos para la salud de los transgénicos y el etiquetado de transgénicos. Corea del Sur tiene buenas razones para preocuparse, es el mayor importador mundial de OMG para consumo humano y las condiciones de salud de sus ciudadanos se están disparando.

South Korea has the highest recorded rates of pervasive developmental delays in the world. South Korea’s rates of autism are also extremely high, the last reported rates were 2 X higher than US autism rates in 2012. The rates of both autism and pervasive development delays correlate with the high amounts of agrochemicals used per unit in the relatively small countries of Japan and South Korea. The ingestion of chemicals due to agrochemical farming has not been of concern for the past two decades, but speakers at the conference discussed studies released over the past 5 years that show serious harm from GMOs and the most widely used glyphosate herbicides in the world. 80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand Monsanto’s flagship Roundup product (glyphosate herbicide), which is now used generically in over 750 brands around the world and has been linked to cancer, liver disease, y many health risks. el destruction of gut bacteria, which glyphosate has been shown to cause, has been linked to autism-like symptoms in rats. Reproductive changes due to the hormonal impact of glyphosate can also lead to developmental delays. New studies showing glyphosate herbicides' impact on the second generation of female rats, impacting fertility, point to great concern regarding the possible link to Korea's low birth rate as well.

Impossible Burger: la tina es donde está

Artículo de Kathleen Furey

Hamburguesa imposibleLlamamiento milenario

Millennials who’ve watched Cowspiracy, or are health conscious and motivated to explore a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, are targeted to save the planet by eating this "low-impact” food. Designed to convert meat eaters to a “plant based” i burger, it can now be ordered as a meat alternative at restaurants in many cities around the US. But, what is The Impossible Burger made of?

Nowhere do they claim that Impossible Burger ingredients are USDA Certified Organic. One look at the Impossible Burger package ingredients list tells any well-educated eater why: wheat, potato proteins, coconut oil, “other nutrients”, natural flavors and 2% or less of the following: leghemoglobin (soy), yeast extract, salt, soy protein isolate, konjac gum, xanthan gum, thiamin (vitamin B1), zinc, niacin, vitamin B6, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and vitamin B12. Many ingredients such as soy, potatoes, and several others, are genetically engineered (GMO) in a lab. GMO food products in the US today require no package label to identify them.

Declaraciones de apertura del juicio de Monsanto

Queridos amigos,

Mis impresiones de las declaraciones de apertura del "Juicio de Monsanto del siglo" en el caso de Monsanto vs un jardinero de la escuela que muere de cáncer (ayer en SF) son:

Screen_Shot_2018- 06-23 _at_2. 42.53 _PM.png

Fue un día memorable de gran dramatismo, mezclado con tiempos difíciles de tener que sentarme quieto en absoluto silencio (no es fácil para mí). La sala estaba llena de periodistas y reporteros, testigos científicos y médicos expertos que escuchaban cada palabra, abogados curiosos para observar, la familia amorosa y solidaria de la víctima del cáncer y Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. con Baum, Hedlund and Associates. bufete de abogados, llenando la primera fila. Había 5 abogados de Monsanto en las mesas delanteras de la derecha.

Dulcemente, había un apuesto adolescente en la fila detrás de la primera fila, que parecía ser RFK, el hijo de Jr, con la hermosa cabellera de Kennedy, y la promesa y el corazón de Kennedy. Creo que puede continuar con el legado de Kennedy.

Había una pared de cámaras, que nos esperaba en el pasillo, ya que no se permitía filmar en la sala del tribunal, y la televisión de la corte cuesta $ 500 para verla (!).

After getting up at 4 a.m. to drive to SF, with Kat Furey and Rouhi Akbari thru thick traffic, it was hard for me to sit from 9:30 to 4. We had 2 5-minute breaks and 1½ hours for a wonderful GF SF lunch at Sweet Maple. I am so glad that I was able to go to this "Trial of the Century."

Sentí pena por el jurado que debe soportar muchos días de gran drama y aburrimiento, sentado y escuchando impasible. Verdaderos héroes.

Saque el glifosato de los estantes y más ... actualizaciones

Screen_Shot_2018- 07-09 _at_7. 21.07 _AM.pngEl sábado, julio 7, 2018, fue el día en que se suponía que todos los productos que contenían glifosato en California tenían una etiqueta de ADVERTENCIA como carcinógeno debido a que estaban incluidos en la lista de carcinógenos de la Proposición de CA 65. Monsanto demandó y detuvo temporalmente la práctica de 30 años de etiquetar los productos químicos en la lista. Y sin embargo ... el juez acordó mantener el glifosato en la lista de carcinógenos de la Proposición 65. Entonces reconoce que el glifosato es dañino ... ¿pero el público no necesita saberlo?

¡Creemos que todos merecen saberlo! ¡Y estos productos no deben venderse al público!

¿Llamará hoy a Home Depot y Loews y les pedirá que dejen de vender Roundup debido a sus efectos cancerígenos?
Hágales saber que el glifosato figura en la lista de carcinógenos 65 de la propuesta de CA EPA, pero a partir de julio 7, 2018, no está debidamente etiquetado como carcinógeno y, por lo tanto, les pedimos que lo retiren de sus estantes. No dude en contarles sobre Dwayne Johnson, padre de dos niños pequeños, que se está muriendo de cáncer y ha demandado a Monsanto por no etiquetar correctamente el glifosato como carcinógeno. También se espera que más de 10,000 personas demanden a Monsanto antes de fin de año. 
Deposito de casa 800-466-3337 presione 7, 5 (atención al cliente) Correo electrónico [email protected]
Lowes 1-704-758-1000 presione 3 Correo electrónico [email protected]
Acabo de llamar y ambos representantes de atención al cliente se tomaron la llamada muy en serio.

Si va a Home Depot o Lowes, o cualquier minorista que venda Roundup, hable, dígaselo al gerente o escríbale una nota. Hágales saber que la ciencia independiente muestra que están contribuyendo al cáncer si continúan vendiendo Roundup y productos a base de glifosato. Pídales amablemente que dejen de venderlos.

¡Gracias!
