Well, don't leave me hanging.

Though I didn't prescribe a test. I set a low bar of evidence that we should at least pass before we Kony up over our bowl of Cheerios.

Are you asking me to describe modern pesticide safety testing protocols? I'm not qualified to do that authoritatively.

But I'm certain that "spray it everywhere for 30 years and see if people die" is not the way.

Bypassing the proper protocols, publishing dishonest research, is the issue under discussion today. Glyphosate might be safe, or safe enough. Proper research could reveal more subtle effects than mortality numbers.
