Glyphosate Hysteria with Ted Williams - a podcast by Eli Weiss

Many environmental protection products are buried within layers upon layers of various corporate stakeholders that are distanced from the end consumer, who often gets confused and misled by competing interests in a world mostly driven by soundbites and social media. One product jumps out above others: Glyphosate- an ingredient of Roundup, who’s maker is Monsanto, who’s parent company is Bayer. Through intense lobbying and social media, well-meaning NGOs disseminate damaging misinformation about glyphosate, one of the safest herbicides ever produced, instead creates a lucrative business for anti-environmentalism at the expense of our native species. Ted Williams, renowned fish and wildlife conservation journalist, returns today to dispel myths associated with the mass hysteria surrounding glyphosate, and widen our scope of knowledge debunking the cancer myth and why glyphosate is a critical tool for wetland and fisheries restoration managers.
