Farmers get their hands and clothes covered in this stuff. Breath it in when spraying it. Live in houses that are surrounded by fields that are soaked with this stuff. They also eat the same food as you and I.

So until there is a cancer epidemic among farmers, all you snowflakes are going to be perfectly fine.

But yes there is some truth in that article -

Some scientists argue that pesticides are harmful when they're consumed regularly, over a prolonged period of time, even when they're under the legal limits.

PESTICIDES!! Pesticides are nasty, dangerous, and extremely toxic. But glyphosate is a herbicide. (They talked about pesticides in the article to trick you into fearing a herbicide.) If you're worried about your food, complain about, and fight against, pesticides. Not herbicides.

Herbicide is specific, it is still broadly classified as a pesticide.
