First, NOT disputing the "science." Second, applying glyphosate to desiccate crops is kind’a kin to using meds to induce birth solely for convenience. Because we can doesn’t always mean that we should. But, and to me, this is a big BUT (minds out’a the gutter, I said "but," not "butt." Children, 🙄) maybe inducing desiccation is quasi necessary? We’re now feeding 330M people in the USofA, alone - Lord knows how many billion more around the globe. Does the use of glyphosate increase the risk of "disease" more than the known effects of starvation? Further, if the greater risks involved with glyphosate arise in those folks who live on what’s available on the shelves/coolers/freezers found in the middle of the grocery, it seems to me those people have greater risks to their health than the contaminant.
We’re now licensing marijuana dispensaries even tho we’re learning that pot/weed is actually not good for your health (something many of us have known for ages). What I’m getting at is I don’t worry about these small risks when we knowingly impact our health with worse harms. Now, as one who needs a map to find the interior of a grocery - other than my boxes of non Chai-Nah produced tea and assorted hard cheeses (and Lactaid cottage cheese), if you told me the trace amounts of glyphosate I might come across were making me fat — then I’ll sit up and listen very closely.
Good grief, we’re now injecting ourselves with very expensive drugs all in the hope it’ll achieve what our drastically weakened arm muscles have failed to do; push away push away push away. Ya’know, maybe I SHOULD get on the ban glyphosate bandwagon - if it made the cost of food expensive enough that eating more than we need became more prohibitive.
That’s it - I’m done with my rant AND I’m done with my first solid meal of the day: fruit and homemade full fat yogurt
