Poisoned Farmer Beats Monsanto

It's always good news when Monsanto loses a lawsuit.

LYON/PARIS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A French court on Monday declared U.S. biotech giant Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning of a French farmer, a judgment that could lend weight to other health claims against pesticides.

In the first such case heard in court in France, grain grower Paul Francois, 47, says he suffered neurological problems including memory loss, headaches and stammering after inhaling Monsanto's Lasso weedkiller in 2004.

Now if we could sue Monsanto for poisoning family farms by destroying non-GMO crops and financially imprisoning farmers with their proprietary monopolistic agri-blight.
