With the Holidays in full swing and food at the center of so many of our celebrations and festivities, Tee thought that this was a perfect time to remind listeners of the importance of eating organic foods in an attempt to avoid harmful and potentially cancer-causing agents in common herbicides and pesticides. So this week we are revisiting a conversation Tee had with Carey Gillam in March of 2021. Carey is a veteran journalist, researcher, and writer with more than twenty-five years of experience in the news industry covering corporate America.

Carey is the author of two groundbreaking books, Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer and the Corruption of Science and The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, which tells the story of Lee Johnson’s landmark lawsuit against Monsanto after a workplace accident left Lee doused in Monsanto’s herbicide and facing a deadly cancer. Lee was the first to take Monsanto to trial, drawing attention from around the world as his case became one of the most dramatic legal battles in courthouse history.

The episode covers Gillam's investigation into glyphosate and Monsanto's tactics to suppress negative information. It delves into her books 'Whitewash' and 'The Monsanto Papers', the legal battles against Monsanto, and the environmental and health impacts of pesticides. The discussion highlights the challenges journalists face when exposing powerful corporations and emphasizes the importance of public awareness and better regulations in combating toxic chemicals.
