If you eat food, this article is for you. It is irrational to reward fraud. We all will pay for Bayer's externalized costs - as well as any other chemical company that claims "Me, Too!"
"The MAHA coalition, which campaigned on removing toxins from the food supply, finds itself on the opposite side of this argument from the administration it helped elect. That is a fracture line worth watching carefully."
Yup.
I see the best way to counter this (if our congresspeople won't respond to us and are also captured by Bayer) is to boycott products containing glyphosate. Even a 20% reduction is sales will pummel relevant commodity prices and farmers will shift to meet consumer demand despite regulatory capture. Glyphosate can then die the death of a thousand (household purchasing) cuts.
Though, I'd prefer an assembly line of shiny new guillotines....
"These laws all do the same thing: they declare that a pesticide manufacturer’s duty to warn consumers about health risks is fully satisfied by whatever label the EPA has approved. " I see their point. The EPA is the problem. I would rather the EPA put a big label on everything that says, "Who knows what's in this. It could kill you. I might not. Eat at your own risk."
In my view, there are no man made chemicals safe for human consumption in any amount. The body does not rely on man made chemicals, poisons and toxins. They are a deterrent to health. Legislators in my state have heard from me on a variety of subjects. I might as well talk to the man in the moon. They are controlled puppets.
So true , great write up . 💥
Great coverage, Doctor!!
