April 9th, 2025

Update: This Just Greeted Me at the Grocery Store

“New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle says an increase of maximum residue levels of glyphosate found in food won’t mean it is unsafe.”

Via: Farmers Weekly:

New Zealand Food Safety is proposing to increase the maximum residue level for glyphosate in some grains and peas.

In an ongoing consultation the proposal is to increase the maximum residue level (MRL) from the current default of 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg in wheat, barley and oats; and 6 mg/kg in dry field peas.

    Makes sense, depending on what your goal is. If it’s causing cancer to hurry along a genocide, then it’ll help.If it’s exterminating all life on earth, it’ll help but more slowly.

    Desperate Bayer seeks Supreme Court shield amid increasing Roundup lawsuits.

    Bayer is urging the Supreme Court to block state lawsuits tying Roundup to cancer, seeking to silence victims and protect profits.
    The company faces a $16 billion legal crisis, including a recent $2.1 billion verdict in Georgia.
    Over 181,000 claims blame glyphosate for cancer, despite Bayer and the EPA denying risks contradicted by independent research.
    Bayer is lobbying states to shield pesticide makers from lawsuits, sparking backlash from lawmakers and affected families.
    Internal emails reveal Monsanto manipulated EPA studies, but courts continue ruling in favor of cancer victims.

    Hope the people of NZ are able to hold the line against the relentless efforts of big ag to push their GMO/synthetic pesticide paradigm. The hard line NZ took against GMO’s years ago has served its people very well, so allowing a 10x increase in residual glyphosate poison in the food is absurd, given all the recent research showing the persistence of that particular biocide in the soil, and its far-reaching health effects.

    I assume that’s 4 out of 10.
