Re:Monsanto hit with $175M verdict against Roundup by zztop44 on Saturday November 04, 2023 @11:34AM (#38141992)
I agree, for what it’s worth. It’s hard. Roundup kills weeds and it seems miles better than other things that also kill weeds. But yeah it’s bad so don’t use it, but that doesn’t solve the question of what should we use instead. It’s genuinely hard, many people who start off organic farming and hating Monsanto end up using Roundup because it’s the best out of a series of bad choices.

That said, if they lied about known risks and lied in their marketing then by all means throw the book at them. And if people are sick as a result of their greed then throw the book twice. But still, I wouldn’t blame any farmer for using their product.
