3 Times That Glyphosate Testers Beat Blind Science
By Maggie Martin
With the proliferation of corporate-funded science, it’s no wonder
that genetic seed monopolies like Monsanto, DuPont, Bayer and BASF are
caught again and again funding research to ostensibly solve the problem of global bee decline.
Coincidentally, those funded initiatives often point to everything but
pesticides for harming pollinators, animals, the environment and
humans. The elephants in the room (neonicitinoids and glyphosate
herbicides) are often ignored and scientists who dare to “see” them are
labeled as kooks, incompetent or conspiracy theorists. Even though the
burden of safety is on the company making the product, chemical
pesticide makers seem to have been bedazzled both regulatory agencies
and scientists. This unfortunate lack of responsibility shifts the
burden of safety on to the unwitting farmer or consumer who is told
repeatedly by the company that the product is safe.
