    How—HOW?!—is this still happening half a century after Silent Spring and DDT? 5 billion pounds of the toxic Monsanto-made chemical #RoundUp are being sprayed into the soil, permeating our water, devastating ecosystems, and savaging our DNAhttps://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/how-soil-health-is-reflected-in-the-gut/ …

        Please, please don't circulate articles from GOOP. There are plenty of legitimate sources for information on glyphosphate. And, FYI: Monsanto sold Roundup (and the entire chemical business) to Bayer 3 years ago.

        I really respect you & your perspective, which has shone on Brain Pickings for years. I share your outrage over this toxic chem dumping all over our land. But Goop is not deserving of your share, indulging in for-profit quackery of all sorts, eg https://bit.ly/2XdhLOc
