There is no comparison between glyphosate and "microwaves for cooking". The World Health Organisation believes glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans[1] and the EU is still wavering on banning it. It's (very) far from conclusive, as the report states, but to suggest that people only avoid glyphosate due to ignorance is simply not true. There are warnings which warrant more research and it's perfectly understandable why people are uncomfortable.

A deep distrust of corporate interests and government regulators is not only healthy, it's the only sane position to take if you look at even recent history. People have already forgotten about the lead scandal in Michigan.
