WHO and FAO issued a report in 2016 stating the use of glyphosate formulations does not necessarily constitute a health risk, and giving admissible daily maximum intake limits (one milligram/kg of body weight per day) for chronic toxicity.

The reported amounts are many milllions of times less than this limit.

The report gets a bit hysterical, using words like “contaminate”, “lies”, “hiding the danger”, etc.

It says that Roundup is “strongly linked to cancer”. That is flat out false and the article fails to back that statement up.

In fact, Roundup is used on about 80% of all the crops grown in the US and is responsible for the incredible productivity of our farms.

Shouldn’t we be a bit more concerned about the amount of alcohol being consumed?

We have far bigger fish to fry.

Anything that sustains Western civilization is evil and must be destroyed.

Yep, and the "organic food" crowd are doing everything they can to put an end to that productivity. Once they eliminate farting cows and modern farming, we can enjoy the benefits of medieval life, including the shorter life spans.

Bingo!! You’ve got it! We are far more at risk of Type II diabetes from all the high fructose corn syrup produced and high actual cane sugar produced and in processed foods and big gulp sodas (producing obese teenage Type II diabetics, who should have aged to at least 50 plus years before exhibiting any diabetes).

But even that is considered buttinski big gov— and maybe they are correct. Would avoid sugars like those, like the plague. The same sugars produced by our high productivity farms-— as you say. The land of plenty produced by geniuses to feed the turd world— so they can “demand entry” here. Nope— sorry not going there.
