Trump and Kennedy's big problem with Monsanto, Roundup and glyphosate

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Monsanto does not need to include a cancer warning label on its herbicide Roundup, siding with Bayer, which acquired Monsanto. The decision followed conflicting assessments of glyphosate’s cancer risk: the World Health Organization classified it as 'probably carcinogenic' in 2015, while U.S. and European regulatory agencies concluded there was insufficient evidence to support this claim. The ruling came after years of costly litigation against Bayer, which has paid over $10 billion in damages related to Roundup lawsuits. Meanwhile, supporters of the pro-health movement 'Make America Healthy Again' (Maha) criticized the Trump administration for aligning with corporations rather than protecting citizens. Former Trump allies, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had previously supported Maha activists but failed to deliver on their health promises, leading some Maha members to consider voting for Democrats in the midterm elections.
