But come to find out that wasn’t really the truth, and glyphosate residues can be found in an alarming number of foods in the US. It persists in the soil.
There’s no real consensus on what’s even safe—it’s pretty widely believed to be an endocrine disruptor—and if you look at what’s happened to the health of our population the last 30 years, there’s more than just poor dietary decisions being made. There’s something seriously wrong with what we are eating.
I don’t think glyphosate is 100% to blame by any means, but I’ve certainly come around to the idea that it’s partially to blame. They don’t have these problems in Europe, and they don’t do RR GMOs there. At least nowhere on the scale that we do.
Reading this, I do have to laugh at your original premise on the $1.99 eggs from Aldi. You buy "Non-GMO spray" and Organic strawberries, then you go out and buy what are probably the worst of the worst eggs in the US.
Petaluma, near us, was known as "The World's Egg Basket" and still has pretty big production, pretty much all of it organic pasture raised. So I talk to a lot of egg farmers and they have some very gnarly things to say about those cheap $2/dozen factory farmed eggs. Basically "they are good for dying colors at Easter but don't eat them".
We pay $8/dozen for pasture raised eggs, from a vending machine that the farmer has in his front yard, or the same price from another family that puts them in a refrigerator on their front porch and you put the money into a shoebox.
Aside from whatever shit is in those eggs, those cheap Aldi eggs have yolks that are a sickly pale yellow, ours are deep orange. Taste so much better. And 100% goes to the farmer, not some cheap ass german grocery store that is automating out 'Merican jobs, you commie.
