EPA watchdog to investigate Monsanto GMOs and superweeds
(edited)

GM corn and soybeans were supposed to reduce chemical use on farms, but
instead they’ve done the opposite by creating herbicide-resistant
superweeds and increasing the use of Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup.

Now the EPA’s internal watchdog wants to know how this chemical war on
weeds is affecting human health and the environment.

The EPA’s Office of Inspector General said it will open an investigation
into the spread of superweeds, and how farm workers are affected by the
toxic chemicals used to combat them.
