Glyphosate-based herbicides are safe now

Bayer, the manufacturer of Roundup, ran a full page ad in today’s Times. Roundup is a herbicide that uses glyphosate as its main ingredient.  The ad had this quotation:

“There’s no risk to public health from the application of glyphosate.”  

That’s from Alexandra Dunn, Assistant Administrator for the EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.


Remember when the EPA based its conclusions on science rather than politics?  Remember when it was not headed by a former lobbyist for the coal industry?  Remember how things were before Donald Trump became president?
