How is it possible that people are still using Round Up in 2021.

Wow.

So Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018 and paid out a couple billion in RoundUp cancer lawsuits, continues to manufacture RoundUp, which is THE best selling herbicide in the world.

EPA claims it's safe and doesn't cause cancer in humans. Even though it kills wildlife and pets.

I did a series on pesticide poisoning of the children of California farmworkers back in the 1990s and those stories will stay with me forever. Once you sit next to the open coffin of a 4yr old dressed as if for the Quinceañera she will never have, you can't erase that memory.

And the most dangerous thing RoundUp does is alter the metabolism of honeybees. Without bees, we all die. In case you missed biology class. So many Americans are science-illiterate, and most people forget about the bees.

Here's a simple data point on Roundup: class a carcinogen.
Use white vinegar on weeds in your garden if you don't like pulling them. It won't kill you, your dog, birds or bees. Just saying.
