Recent rulings against Roundup manufacturer Monsanto have prompted U.K. authorities to seek non-chemical herbicide alternatives. Two juries have implicated Roundup as the cause of cancer in frequent users, but some public health agencies still disagree over whether it is a carcinogen. Both major political parties have failed to curb the use of dangerous pesticides. Since the dawn of the modern pesticide era during World War II, federal regulators in throughout the 20th century and beyond have adopted lax, pro-industry standards that have allowed potentially dangerous pesticides to remain legal. A campaign is under way to stop synthetic chemicals from being used in Jacksonville, Florida parks. Thanks to Conscious Kitchen, students said goodbye to pre-packaged meals and hello to fresh, local, 100 percent organic meals made from scratch.
