In reply to the discussion: Chemical Glyphosate (GMO handmaiden) found in California Wines [View all]AxionExcel
(755 posts)This just in. No doubt the glyphosate pro faction will trash the source and deride this as 'woo' - their standard boilerplate systematic response to any reality they cannot abide.
But doggone it, this also is fact. It really happened. Just this week. Corporate media has no interest in this kind of truth. The glyphosate-GMO pros will no doubt also label Europeans as 'STUPID' following the lead of Republican role model Donald Trump.
But fair-minded observers will see that this is simply a factual news report about government officials actually taking seriously the health and well being of the people they serve, rather than the financial profitability of the chemical-GMO-pharmaceutical Industrial Ag Corps, Inc.

"The European Commission should not renew the approval of the herbicide substance glyphosate on the EU market, voted the European Parliaments Environment Committee on 22 March ARC2020 reports.
"The European Parliaments Environment Committee (ENVI) passed a resolution on Tuesday by 38 votes to 6, with 18 abstentions which objects to the Commissions plans to approve the controversial substance in June of this year, for a further 15 years.
In a statement the Committee said So long as serious concerns remain about the carcinogenicity and endocrine disruptive properties of the herbicide glyphosate, which is used in hundreds of farm, forestry, urban and garden applications, the EU Commission should not renew its authorisation. Instead, it should commission an independent review and disclose all the scientific evidence that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) used to assess glyphosate, said Environment Committee MEPs on Tuesday, Oliver Moore (WHES2016) reports."
