    I think I over reacted in my veiled criticism of the ruling by a judge that glyphosate cannot cause cancer.

    I understand herbicides are not pesticides, but it is funny that a judge is able to make such a ruling, as if science is absolute.

    It turns out pesticides are probably only as risky as smoking, the wider societal benefit of mass food production is outweighed by the long term effects on the individual. This is the world we live in, the society comes first, even if it is at the expense of the individual.
