Subject: Ruthless Power and Deleterious Politics: From DDT to Roundup
To: bsr-PROJECT-ELIST1@gn.apc.org


Dear Friends and Colleagues

Published today (Friday 17th July) on Independent Science News:

Title: Ruthless Power and Deleterious Politics: From DDT to Roundup
by Evaggelos Vallianatos

http://www.independentsciencenews.org/environment/ruthless-power-and-deleterious-politics-from-ddt-to-roundup/

Synopsis: The modern controversy over Roundup (glyphosate) and the documentation of its effects on humans, animals and soils, has much in common with that over DDT fifty years ago. In particular, it recapitulates attempts to sideline critics and the ongoing delusion of control of the natural world that informs modern agricultural practices.

The author, Evaggelos Vallianatos, is a former EPA analyst.

Please enjoy and share.

Yours sincerely
Jonathan
