the idea that glyphosphate causes cancer is a fringe conspiracy theory with no scientific evidence supporting it and mountains of research contradicting it. the whole point of using the genetically modified seed - which is what this is really about. opposition to gmos has hit a brick wall because the science is so overwhelmingly clear that they aren't dangerous, so the conspiracy theorists have shifted focus to the pesticides, hoping to grasp on to straws that in fact are not actually there - is that it reduces the reliance on pesticides like ddt that are known to cause severe problems. roundup was intentionally engineered as a solution to carcinogenic pesticides, and it is one. 

the amount of ignorance on the left around this issue was extremely embarrassing when the issue first developed. i remember helplessly watching good leftists fall for terribly researched right-wing conspiracy theories that had the intellectual weight of an alex jones expose. it was exasperating.

it's helpful to see these people land out in right field, with the conservative fringe, which is where they've always belonged.

americans are horribly unhealthy and the amount of corn they eat is a major cause, not the gmo seeds used to plant it or the pesticides used to grow it. americans need to drastically reduce the amount of corn in their diets and reducing subsidies for the corn industry would be a positive step in helping reduce the amount of corn in their diets.
