Add I kid I watched people who worked with the spray coups/planes work with zero safety equipment.

They would reach right into tanks full of weed killer with bare hands to try to fix something. No masks worn, no gloves.

We’ve learned a lot since the 70s/80s/90s.

I would imagine direct substained contact with the stuff is different than the minimal amounts in food.



Like how asbestos is never good for you, but if you're a shipbreaker working with asbestos for 40 years, it's definitely worse than if you're a homeowner and accidentally knock some asbestos out of your ceiling.

But in the same lines, I'm still more worried about glyphosate showing up in food from the supermarket than if I spray it around my house
