argued they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma following decades of using the weedkiller.

My son has non Hodgkin lymphoma. He has never been near weedkiller of any sort.

You get cancer because you get cancer.

The problem is that what happens in California tends to metastasize to points eastward.

$2 BILLION? An impossibly large number, which is why I used capital letters.

Well, That settles it then. If you get cancer and have every used glyphosate then that is what caused the cancer. Case closed.

If I ever get cancer I am going to find a pettifogging lawyer to sue the deepest pocket producer of anything I have ever eaten or used and sue them in the most ignorant liberal area I can possibly find.

This is absolutely stupid and dangerous.

Sometimes but every old time farmer round here died of cancer. I sprayed roundup from 14 to age 22 daily on the farm with a backpack sprayer, i am about to be tested for lymphoma the 22nd, I believe round up did it and I will be suing them if it is.

Of course you will. Lots of folk dream of hitting the “lawsuit lottery”. I sometimes wonder what caused lymphoma BEFORE Roundup was invented.
