There is not going to be any rational discussion in this thread.

The article is far too shit. There is nothing there. No evidence. No nothing. It's just anger bait.

I can add a lot of (correct) information here, but I will just piss people off.

Let's be better.

I thought salon was better than this, but I guess we can't escape enshitification.

If it helps, I can rationally discuss glyphosate. Plant geneticist here.

You called it. It's just went downhill as I scrolled.

It's just so hard to resist. Everything is wrong. It's like it's designed to make everyone angry.

Well... That drives engagement.

I don't know why you thought salon would be better. I was literally about to say they're the liberal equivalant of Fox but I just looked it up and even Fox is actually ranked higher on factual reporting than Salon. A closer comparison would be that they're the liberal equivalent of Breitbart.
