You are welcome to your opinion as far as it goes, but all I see is your opinion that such a thing happened, not any such evidence of a corporate pay off.

And by the way, those “overwhelming multitude of studies” are scientifically bogus and not valid having been done by those with preconceived notions looking for proof of same. Those that purport to offer proof rely on incidents where the label was not followed and bad things happened - not the chemical’s fault, rather the applicator who did not follow or willfully ignored the explicit directions.

I wonder if you have ever actually read the label for glyphosate, let alone used it properly.

Evidence-based science means little to the true believers, Monsanto haters and GMOphobes. On every FR thread on this subject someone inevitably uses the old line that "if glyphosate is so safe, why don't you drink a glass of it?" The absurdity of that statement is always lost on those who post it. Organic farmers use manure to fertilize their crops, so I'm sure these same people would have no problem eating a plate of it.

These conservatives won't hesitate to side with the likes of Greenpeace when they declare glyphosate a "probable" carcinogen, all the while ignoring the fact that they eat cancer causing chemicals in food every single day.

Fear of glyphosate is irrational and unfounded. Glyphosate herbicides all work in the same way – they inhibit an enzyme that plants need to promote growth. The specific enzyme is called EPSP synthase. Without this enzyme, the plant cannot create the proteins required for growth, leading to the plant’s death. Because most plants use this enzyme, most are susceptible to glyphosate applications. Humans and animals do not use EPSP synthase. That fact, however, won't stop them from believing otherwise.
