> the anti-glyphosate crowd has completely failed for the last 40 years to provide any definitive proof that it causes cancer

Have they? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-monsanto-cancer-lawsuit-i...

“ A California jury on Friday found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged the company’s glyphosate-based weed-killers, including Roundup, caused his cancer and ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages.”

I don’t find it funny. Monsanto had a huge team of high priced lawyers, and all the corrupt junk science they paid for, against this lone nobody and their case was so bad they /still/ lost.

That's still not scientific evidence though. The legal process operates on entirely different principles. A jury is not peer review, and the lawyers get to choose which facts to reveal and which might cause PR nightmares and are best left out.
