Comments Off on Guy Sues Rachel Ray’s Dog Food Company Because it Contains Glyphosate


People -On Monday, news broke thatRachael Ray‘s dog food company Nutrish is being sued by a man claiming the products contain the herbicide glyphosate and are therefore not natural, as advertised.

So Rachel Ray has this dog food company called Nutrish, which is supposed to be all natural, and some guy is suing them because it contains glyphosate (aka the active chemical in Monsanto’s RoundUp). Glyphosate is carcinogenic as fuck, even though it does not cause cancer in dimwitted Trump supporters according to the EPA.

I’m not a huge Rachel Ray fan, but I can’t hold her company responsible for this. Should “natural” foods not be sprayed with these shit pesticides? Yes. But the environment is 100% fucked. There’s no way to prevent it unless you grow your shit hydroponically underground in a bubble. Because If I’m an organic farm that decides not to use pesticides but the guy on the farm next door sprays his shit with X, Y and Z and guess what? There’s wind! The wind blows it onto my organic crops and now you’re eating cancer.

Glyphosate is in everything. It’s in you and me right now. This is because Monsanto is a piece of shit evil corporation, who can eat a dick, promoted the use of this poison since the 1970s and spent billions of dollars buying up scientists saying it’s safe and genetically engineering crops to be resistant to it. It’s in everything and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

But here’s what really made me chuckle:

As animal lovers and humans, it goes without saying that we do not add pesticides to our products as an ingredient, [Bobby Modi, vice president of pet food and pet snacks for The J.M. Smucker Company, Nutrish’s parent company] continued.

BAHAHAH. Thanks captain obvious… I’d hope no company willingly adds pesticides to food ingredients.

Unfortunately, this case needs to be dismissed. It’ll set a bad precedent. We can’t sue every single company for every single contaminant because it’ll never end. I mean, yes, if Company X is deliberately poisoning shit and being deceptive to boost profits, by all means… Is Nutrish contaminated with glyphosate? Probably. Is is less contaminated than other dogfood which is not as natural and uses ingredients from fields treated with myriads of chemicals? Probably. Pick the lesser of two evils and move on with your life.
