Brazil's recent ban on Roundup is very significant, because Brazil is the world's largest grower of soybeans, thus signalling a return to the old methods of agriculture, but already Brazil's Public Health agency has made it clear to Reuters two days ago that it will appeal the judicial decision:

Brazil's public health agency will appeal judge's nationwide suspension of glyphosate

"The system of direct planting is based on glyphosate, and it will be a gigantic ". setback (to suspend it)," Brazilian Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi said.

Silvia Fagnani, executive director of a pesticide industry group known as Sindiveg, said the appeal in Brazil would be filed [the week of August 13th]. She said Brazilian health agency Anvisa, as well as the Agriculture Ministry, were also going to file separate appeals against the decision ". Anvisa ". confirmed the intention to file an appeal in a statement sent to Reuters.

I wonder how many Federal Appeals Judges in Brazil has Monsanto pressured/bribed/or otherwise influenced to rule in their behalf?

Would we ever see a full scale revolution because of pesticides? Maybe....the Brazilians are suffering more than anyone, because Brazil is now the largest pesticide consumer in the world.


Rip out the jungles and those former plants' seeds want to grow back as they have for millions of years, but the farmers, thanks to Monsanto, are there to poison them with weedkillers, but then when the public in Brazil learns the facts about 83% of the mothers' breast milk having Roundup/Glyphosate in them, I might not want to see an armed revolution, but maybe would prefer to make them pay through the courts, but if the judiciary is bribed, you might begin to see some very very angry people in Brazil.
