Bayer is considering stopping sales of the weedkiller glyphosate to private users who apply it in their gardens, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Thursday, citing financial and corporate sources.
The business daily said the move was part of ongoing talks with tens of thousands of plaintiffs in the United States about an out-of-court settlement. The plaintiffs blame Bayer's glyphosate-based weedkillers for their cancer.
Bayer was not immediately available for comment.
Court-appointed mediator Ken Feinberg, who leads the settlement discussions, has put the number of Roundup cancer claimants at more than 75,000 while Bayer has said the claims it has been served with in court were below 50,000.
Comment: While this may seem like a victory, as has happened elsewhere, such as France, farmers - who are
struggling as it is - are
permitted to use glyphosate where there's 'no alternative', so the food supply will continue to be toxic. One also wonders what it will be replaced with, because it's unlikely the big chemical companies will willingly give up those profits.
In the end, what's really needed is a paradigm shift in our approach towards nature, and there needs to be an international effort to find the most optimal ways to work with it to achieve our goals:
OK, we will now sell only to BIG AG.
Now wait a minute. Are people in general really this retarded to allow all this? Do the really DONT give a fuck about the Planet and other Humans?
Yes! They are. Looking out ONLY for their fat asses.
As I said, you cant really blame the eugenics crowd for wanting less population.
