Much of Europe has banned GMOs, am I to believe this is for no reason?
It is for the same reason that some parents don't want their kids vaccinated.
With so much blatant corruption and evidence of Roundups toxicity, is it only the profit motive preventing the US from following suit?
Yeah, Roundup is almost as toxic as those childhood vaccinations.
Recently it was announced that western men's sperm counts have drastically decreased over the last 50 years, this correlates with increasing use of roundup ready crops.
Same thing was said about autism and vaccinations.

Am I misremebering? I though glyphosate was GRAS?
Same classification as vaccinations. There was a heavy dose of sarcasm in my last post that may not have made it over the interwebs.

So in short, because some authority in the home of crony capitalism has classified an extremely lucrative product as safe, anyone who questions it is the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer? Pathetic.
There have been decades of studies on Roundup, and there is no evidence of toxic effects at the levels people are exposed to. Roundup is the most studied herbicide in history. This is equivalent to the anti-vaxxers claiming that vaccines harm children when there is no evidence to back it up.
The backlash against GMO's has nothing to do with their potential harm. It has everything to do with GMO's being the product of human intervention. People have non-rational fears about things that are genetically modified, as if those sci-fi horror shows are documentaries.
