Hi Rob,
This is exactly why this whole crusade against glyphosate and/or GMO is so harmful. It takes attention away from actual problems we are facing. We know so many of our agricultural lands are contaminated with arsenic and other heavy metals that are the legacy of pineapple and sugar cane production and we know these contaminants, like arsensic, are so harmful to humans, but instead of focusing on this we have ideological crusades against proverbial straw-men. It's tilting at windmills on steroids.
