Gee, maybe some governmental agency should take steps to outlaw cigarettes and all tobacco products. No pushback from the farming lobby nor from the federal, state, and local taxing entities I’m sure !
Isn't the study by the WHO or some such being used as the basis for the “proof ?”
Big Tobacco has been sued many many times and the word is out on cigarettes and the implied or real additives. Someone is always introducing legislation against the effects(for lack of a broader term) but the big bucks that rule with the best lobbyists and attys have plenty of money to fight their cause with. Monsanto has this same power.
Guys, I'm an ex farm boy, ex smoker, (guess that makes me a quitter) and hindsight is usually right.
Monsanto is damaging the environment and their products are messing with health. They're not the only ones but they've got something going on that's bad enough that the smart people are fighting against it.
Maybe it's just smart ambulance chasers going after the money (with due respect to Willie Sutton) but Monsanto isn't popular with many that care about the future of farms and health.
I'm no orator (obviously) to further any cause or crusade but I'm glad the publicity is waking people up to what's going on.
