I’m 100% convinced that Evil doesn’t follow a political affiliation, so as not to make this a Political discussion. Evil people don’t draw party lines they run rampant. So when I see sides attacking each other it’s comical level because they’re all offended at the littlest thing, but a simple 30 minutes in fast reading or research dissolves much of the fear campaign. Im not sure if you’re referring to this safety protocol with $5B (yes Billions) attached to its promotion. This is not old news there’s been ongoing research in the safest way to handle the rise in synthetic chemicals over the last 30+ years. Some new aspects of the global issue in the last 10-15 years have created a worthy focus. This isn’t a new problem or one that initiated in January 2025. It’s in response to a perceived partial failure to implement a previous strategies because of the more broad focus. It’s called get your Oxygrn mask on and resolve the first issue to better attack both short and long term issues.
Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reaffirming its commitment to Make America Healthy Again at a PFAS destruction event alongside U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Very good answer. Rather than claim the sky is falling all the time people must learn to be realistic and use common sense. The Surgeon General gave information in regard to the effects of tobacco in 1963, pretty much what was already suspected. Yet, 6 decades later people by the millions still smoke and still pay the price. There is a big push from the environmental side to ban all glycophosphates, Roundup, being the big one. Monsanto lobbies as hard as those opposing it.
The equation may not be weighed in a courtroom. Those that oppose the glyco believe it saves millions of lives. Those that do not also understand the impact it would have on world food production. And any modern organic integrated form of agriculture could not meet the volume demand in this world no matter how hard they try to sell it. Maybe 150 years ago. The cost for the farmer, the shipper, the supplier, and the consumer would sky rocket. Shortages would be rampant. Simply, removing all herbicides and pesticides from the process are not as easy as switching to decaf coffee like some believe.
I have used Roundup for over 40 years, e.g. I am still here. Misuse of a product can lead to disaster, especially at high volume. As far as political, those companies lobby both parties, and give money to both as well.
