Glyphosate, Too Complex to Ignore
A farmer sprays pesticides on his crops in Bailleul, northern France, on June 15, 2015. French Ecology Minister Segolene Royal announced on June 14, 2015 a ban on the sale of American biotechnology giant Monsanto's popular weedkiller 'Roundup' from garden centres, which the UN has warned may be carcinogenic. The active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, was in March classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the UN's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

We all eat. We all want as few toxins in our food as possible. We all hope there is enough healthy and delicious food to go around. Food is powerful. From the rise and fall of civilizations to establishing and defining cultures, food is more than just a basic need for human survival.

How we grow, process, and distribute food is immeasurably complex. We live in an amazing time. Any time of year in many places on earth we can enter a grocery store and purchase food that has arrived fresh and ready to use from every corner of the planet. When you think about it, it’s unbelievable.
