Vani Hari on glyphosate: warns against

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller, is the centerpiece of Hari’s 2026 People vs. Poison campaign. She alleges it contaminates the food system and causes cancer, and she opposes legal “liability shields” that would protect pesticide makers from failure-to-warn lawsuits.

Her stated reasoning, expressed at the April 27, 2026 Supreme Court rally, was blunt: “You cannot make America healthy again and protect the corporations that are poisoning us.” She frames the fight as both a food-safety issue and a test of whether the MAHA movement will stand up to corporate power — including when, as in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, the Trump administration’s DOJ sided with Monsanto/Bayer.

The campaign took a court setback in 2026 when the Supreme Court ruled for Bayer, per FERN’s October 2026 reporting, and the fight has moved to the 2026 Farm Bill, where the House removed the liability-shield provision on April 30, 2026.
