      Sort of? The science is settled by scientists, the courtrooms interpret the science for social purposes, though.

      Scientifically everything probably has an impact on cancer risk. There’s still a huge difference between radioisotopes and table salt for social purposes.

        It’s a little known fact that the size of watering cans has to increase with latitude south, in order to counteract the Coriolis effect. This is just someone watering their petunias.

        Still not sure what that has to do with roundup, though.

    So the entire balance of this case will rest on whether this single judge can be bribed or not?

    Seems like an awful way to rule on such an important lawsuit.

      Frankly, it’s a great way to rule on such an important lawsuit if you’re the one with the most bribe money. That’s why the system is so great, for people with the most bribe money.

    Nobody doubt’s that it causes birth defects in farm workers.

    Is that not enough reason to ban it?

      Downvoted come from selfish folks that only care about theirimmediate families and not the wellbeing of the workers who pick the food they eat

      Maybe not. How much less are you willing to eat? Better PPE usage would be the first thing I’d look into if what you’re saying is true.

    FYI: This as about people who work with large amounts of it. If you’re a normal person who washes their veggies you’re still safe.
