Roundup Unready
Who do you think would be funding the research to find out IF roundup is dangerous?
1. Monsanto? they do the minimal kind of testing for short term toxicity, but they dont do the long term studies. 2. the government. nope, the gov does not do that kind of testing. they may (may) collect stats on cancer clusters after the fact. 3. independent agencies. well now they are hired by corps to do testing, and their income depends on who hires them... to many negatives and they lose their customers. There is no middleman or "cut out" set up whereby the corporations come to a central clearing house who look at what kind of testing is needed, matches them with the independent labs that can do that kind of testing and randomly selects one to do it. This would remove the direct economic pressure from the independent testing labs. As was pointed out about DDT. It was not that scientists didnt want to test properly... it was they didnt know AT THE TIME the right question to ask. Which was: does DDT accumulate in fat? What are the consequences to migrating species when DDT laced fats is rapidly metabolized? What are the long term consequences of the accumulation of fat laced with DDT in the food chain? Nobody thought to ask these questions. Scientists have learned lessons from this, the question is do they get to apply what they learned to current pesticides or even GMO and the answer is "no". It takes a lot of money to ask these kind of questions and nobody wants to foot the bill.
