I truly did not post the original story link to start this type of debate or to stir any pots...I have to strenuously disagree there. The FDA like all gov't agencies is paid too much by the companies they are supposed to regulate to find anything wrong with them. The same goes for our senators and reps. As long as the money flows they will never find anything wrong with Monsanto or other large corps
I just thought it was of concern that almost all of the foods the FDA tested showed the weed killer...
from the original link I cited:
The US Department of Agriculture was to start its own testing of foods for glyphosate residues in 2017 but dropped the plan.
The lack of government residue data comes as Monsanto attempts to bar evidence about glyphosate food residues from being introduced in court where the company is fighting off allegations its Roundup products cause cancer.
You may be right about the lobby influence : USDA Drops Plan to Test for Monsanto Weed Killer in Food
