Yeah, well, something's got to give. I don't like the idea either but when it comes down to it, the scientific case for the harm behind glyphosates isn't compelling enough to take it away from an agricultural sector that has been absolutely brutalized over the last decade. The current case against is at least as political/legal/financial as it is a health concern.

The bizarre "polar vortexes" and generally stupidly cold, unseasonal, and rapidly-changing weather this year has done slightly frightening damage all over the board. This is on top of massive droughts over way too much of our breadbaskets.

This is on top of foreigners, "philanthropists," asset portfolio-holders, and a bevy of shadowy interests taking advantage of the modern difficulty of farming, and giving them an easy way out, by throwing cash at them to leave. Good financial sense for those getting out; bad for domestic food production.

I raised an eyebrow at this move at first, but then looked into it, and even Kennedy and his MAHA concern decided to take the L on this one, so maybe there's at least a chance this isn't another public-fucking.
