I am not sure I understand this list. Bayer bought Monsanto for $66b unless they just own stock in each of these companies, Proctor and Gamble alone is like 3x larger.
If you can’t raise meat, know your local farmers and buy from them. Been avoiding these brands like the plague for over a decade. Cooking at home is the way.
Or find a local butcher that sells locally raised meat. You can smell the difference in store bought 'organic' grass fed ground beef and locally grass fed ground beef.
My butcher says they finish feeding the store bought beef with soy (probably GMO) before they send them to the slaughter house and that's why the ground beef stinks when you cook it. Versus local grass fed beef don't stink.
These roundup smears always make me smile. Not only did Bayer acquire Monsanto a few years ago, Roundup is hardly the problem. Without glyphosate and other similar chemistries, your food would be much more expensive. Keeping weed pressure down increases yield dramatically. Nothing competing with your crop for resources. I def agree with growing your own, 100%. In regards to fearing herbicides, look to "restricted use" chemicals. Extremely low LD50. This is an exaggeration, but you can almost bathe in glypho and 2,4-D. Yes, I'm in the vegetation management industry.
2,4-D doesn't do the exact same job, I'm afraid. glypho is a group 9. 2,4-D is a group 4 synthetic auxin growth regulator. One systemic, the other not, respectively. Both have a specific use case and most beneficial time of year to apply. Neither one is used to directly spray crops. Both have little to no soil activitty. This attack on herbicides goes hand in hand with the overall attack on AG, from progressives. I've seen the same literature claiming the cancer potential, but i give no credence to it.
Hey friend I have a question for you. I live in the middle of nowhere and I fight weeds all spring and summer. I have tried pulling by hand but that is really an impossible task given the amount of land I have.
I have tried the dish soap, vinegar and salt to no avail as it only kills the leaves but the green leaves will sprout right where it died.
What is the best weed/grass killer for gravel? I don't care if anything ever grows there again and some of it is next to my raised beds where I grow my vegetables and fruits.
I'm also aware of a deacon at church that died from non Hodgkin's lymphoma and they think it was due to round up.
Thank you for your time and patience in answering my question.
Not a problem, I also have a colleague at work with the same, they also "think" its caused by roundup. Everything causes cancer and bad health, so I don't pay much mind. I def have empathy to anyone suffering for any reason, don't get me wrong.
As far as your gravel, we use "bareground" herbicide. Its a soil applied blanket treatment. You spray every sq ft of your gravel with a particular chemistry, and it prevents anything from growing. Imazapyr, Ecomazapyr are two good ones. They sterilize everything. The timing is also important. Seasonal moisture will help drive the product down to perennial roots. Sometimes pre emergent products alone will not work, because they are mostly targeting annual weeds and not perennial. I sometimes mix the two classes to really get a true bareground with little to no "escapes." Just read label for rates and uses and precautions
He is on X and other platforms but he breaks down who really owns the brands and it generally boils down to Blackrock and Vangaurd bit he recently discovered BOA who bought Merrill Lynch owns a large portion of Blackrock but doesn't have any members on the board.
I don't know yet that Monsanto owns all these, but I wished with someone who had worked there, way back in the 90s, and their own cafeteria had all non-gmo foods.

The math doesn’t seem to work here. I don’t have any doubt that all of these brands are bad though.
Agreed. Just misleading with the title and graphic.
Grow your own (non-gmo) vegetables, raise your own meat (or hunt), cook at home.

2-4-D does the exact same job without the same risk of cancer, and is easier to clean off the produce

If your “food” has a brand you are eating crap.
I couldn't believe it, but fact checked TRUE...
Remember the Monsanto-sponsored ride at Disneyland?
