Hey MAHA (make America healthy again), how you feeling about your president’s recent glyphosate executive order?
You know, the one where he gives immunity to the previously known Monsanto, who was acquired by Bayer. So on one end they make cancer causing weed killer and on the other they make the chemo for the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma their weed killer causes. In this Great America, your Great President just did the greatest thing. Granted this monster immunity.

Glyphosate is one of the higher rate use pesticides used in agriculture. The standard rate is around 32 fluid oz of active ingredient per acre. That's the equivalent of two plastic soft drink bottles of herbicide spread over 43,560 square feet. That's not drenching the crops.
In fact, the majority of what you see a farmer spraying in the field is the toxic solution of dihydrogen monoxide, AKA "water". The fact is that water has led to far more deaths than agricultural pesticides ever will.
I do not believe that glyphosate is harmful when used according to label. Myself and thousand of other farmers and ag workers have handled glyphosate in its concentrated form for decades with no ill effects. You can't convince me that a gardener bought a very diluted version of glyphosate in a spray bottle, used it, got cancer, and it was glyphosate's fault.
Just because juries have ruled against Bayer does not prove that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Hell the shower caddy I just bought says its cancer causing in Cali
This is all a facade. It's always been in their hands to rid the toxins from our food and products. They do for other countries. They could've done this year's ago and didn't. So what's really the MO here?!
It's also wild that they've deregulated so much stuff that was aimed to keep us safe and our environment healthy. How can they gut this and then stand tall saying they're making us healthy again? You're all the reason we've been being poisoned for forever.
It's so maddening people don't see this.
It has never been about making people healthy
How about the surgeon general nominee 🥴
I don't live there and I am mad.
This guy is just speeding up the fall of America. The funny thing is that people may only wake up and start demanding what is fair to the next president, not to this one while he is making a mess.
I genuinely don’t think RFK is behind this. It’s all the other clowns who run the currupt system
I saw this! Pisses me off. Glad it got caught and the bill didn’t get passed. Sneaky bastards.
