Roundup is still on the shelf to buy by anyone. How many more DECADES will we have to wait to "find the link"?
You see where organic is cheaper in the long run on your health and the environment. Get away from chemicals today!
0:38 Vietnam veterans had Paraquat Cough from marijuana? I was a kid I didn’t completely understand.
I hope this farmer wins his case. Things need to change.
So i guess organic food is worth the cost.
Not if it's getting the blow-over spray from neighboring fields.
The organic qualification has been weakened and corrupted by eg Walmart and other big food retailers, and by big ag producers
Paraguat is just as dangerous as roundup😢😢
Is round up dangerous?

Very dangerous! It causes cancer!
Lol 😂 people thinking that a chemical sprayed on corps won't have side effects
I remember when we smoked weed in the 60s and 70s that were sprayed with paraquat from mexico.
They used to spray pot with paraquat.
It’s killing me very slowly I sprayed thousands of acres of the dam stuff nobody ever told me about any safety precautions
Government corruption at its finest I worked on a farm mainly producing hay and silage two of the blokes who did the main weed control have both developed Parkinson's I will be forwarding this interview onto them I find it very interesting to say the least
My dad NEVER let us walk on or near (if it could be avoided) lawns that had been sprayed with herbicides/pesticides. He knew they were toxic and wanted them to be made illegal for residential use. He grew up on a farm in New Brunswick, and three out of the five brothers have Parkinson's. They used various chemicals throughout the 40s-60s. Only one of my uncles continued to use heavy pesticides throughout his life ... he now has severe Parkinson's.
Most farmers follow the precautions only for few days then they feel it is not dangerous and then leading to misuse
In France, wine country employees are compensated by their country, and other countries as well.
My guess is the vitiligo on the wife is caused by the pesticides as well.
People dont learn to use proper protection unless they see the effects immediately
they're just ordinary farmer couple. how did they know about paraquat?
Are you saying farmers are stupid? It's easy to read the labels of what is being sprayed.
The jabs 💉💉💉💉
irrelevant but thanks for making your opinion obvious, I'd say you use the first amendment well, but you used twice as many emojis as you did words.
@@bloodlove93 maybe as your comment to me 😏
We didn’t know it was gonna hurt nobody that skull and crossbones Used to mean everybody’s happy
