RoundUp. We are talking about RoundUp being sprayed onto foods. Not glyphosate. That is a tactic to avoid talking about the tests involving RoundUp.

The whole “Roundup not glyphosate” reframing was just a convenient shifting of the goalposts after their initial claims about glyphosate were debunked. But I still contend that your assertion that we are eating non-trace amounts of Roundup or glyphosate or whatever your demon dou jour is is quite false.

Yes, you and Monsanto are shifting the goalposts. RoundUp is sprayed onto foods. Studies show that RoundUp is toxic. Monsanto funded a bunch of studies on glysophate in isolation to try and show that RoundUp is not toxic. RoundUp has chemicals that make it possible for Glysophate to permeate the cells.
