Monsanto seeks EPA approval for its new poison combo

They’re not even pretending not to poison us anymore!

Just months ago I told you how Monsanto threw a hissy fit when the World Health Organization said its GMO weed killer Roundup probably causes cancer.

And that Monsanto promised that this poison being sprayed on our food by the ton won’t make us sick.

But now the EPA may be just days away from approving Monsanto’s latest — and most dangerous — chemical cocktail yet.

It’s a combination of Roundup and one of the deadliest herbicides ever invented. One that can unleash lifelong damage on unborn babies — and could even give you cancer.

The herbicide from hell“We are all going to be in a lot of trouble.”

That’s what family farmer Anita Poeppel is predicting if Monsanto’s new Roundup Xtend ever sees the light of day.

I’ve told you before how when lab animals were exposed to Roundup, they developed tumors that were practically the size of ping pong balls!

But now Roundup Xtend is adding a new herbicide, dicamba, to the mix — and it’s a horror all on its own.

Dicamba was first approved way back in 1967, so we know a lot about it by now — and none of it is good.

It can send your risk of three different types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas through the roof. It’s even been linked to serious birth defects and cell death in unborn babies.

Cancer AND birth defects? Let’s hear someone from Monsanto now tell us how “safe” this weed killer is!

And it’s not like Monsanto is planning to take it easy with this stuff either. It’ll be sprayed all over millions of acres of soy and cottonseed fields.

The company has even petitioned the EPA to raise the tolerance level for dicamba (the amount of the chemical legally allowed to be found in a crop) 150 times higher on cottonseed!

If you’ve been looking for another reason you should ditch all foods with cottonseed oil, this is it.

Andrew Kimbrell, head of the Center for Food Safety, calls Monsanto’s Xtend a return to “the dark days of heavy, indiscriminate use of hazardous pesticides.”

You can say that again.

And if you’re wondering why these biotech bullies at Monsanto are going to all the trouble and expense of getting this Xtend system on the market, it’s because Roundup use has backfired.

Decades of spraying this herbicide has caused super weeds to develop — ones that aren’t killed when doused with the chemical. So they needed to build a bigger gun.

Unfortunately, this gun is going to be aiming at all of us. And this quick fix to kill Roundup-resistant weeds will be just that. Because nature will find a way to beat Xtend, too, and Monsanto will just keep putting deadlier weed killers on the market.

The time to stop this is now. And it’s up to us to let the EPA know how we feel about approving Xtend.
