Bro we're not going to run off into a field with equipment and test this ourselves.

There has been many studies on the subject, done by scientists, with reports, that have been published. Some of which have been reported in the news and that also influenced Europe into taking the decision to stop using glyphosate and to reduce the usage of pesticides in general.

I've read many news articles on the subject over time and I know enough to know that we need to decrease our usage and use natural alternatives where possible because it has long term effects on our environment affecting drinking water, pollination insects such as bees, and can cause cancer in humans and animals.

Stop telling people to use the scientific method and science like we're going to go out there and run experiments on our own like we have time to do that in our busy lives and we're all environmental or chemical scientists. We're not. We keep ourselves informed through the reports that have already been published as journalists who investigate into these things.
