In reply to the discussion: "Skeptical Enquirer" looks at the "Roundup" and GMO hysteria... [View all]Bobstandard
(2,370 posts)31. What bullshit.
I dont know the SkepticalEnquirer or the authors, but I do know they ignore a tremendous body of research that contradicts nearly every claim of this article. The article essentially takes the stance that any objection to the use of glysophate is hysterical. Right.
If Roundup were so benign why would Monsanto already have agreed to more than $11 millions in settlements for folks harmed by the substance? Is because their lawyers just dont want to be in the room with a bunch of people with glysophate related hysteria? Or is it because glysophate isnt benign, is in fact dangerously toxic and is in fact, indefensible?
This article reads like it was written by one of the same PR firms that represented big tobacco.
