Too much poison in your food? Levels that are higher than should be allowed?
No problem - the EPA will just change what is acceptable, so it's all good...

Monsanto continues to make more noise as they have recently raised the allowable concentrations of Monsanto’s Glyphosate on food crops, edible oils and animal feed. To be technically correct, it was the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), but the EPA and Monsanto are nothing but a revolving door. Dozens of individuals who work for and who have held high level positions at Monsanto have also held high level positions in the EPA, which is an agency (branch of the U.S. government) that sets regulations for the biotech giant (monsanto). For example, Linda J. Fisher, now working for DuPont, she is the former deputy administrator at the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances at the EPA, and the former Vice President of Government Affairs for the Monsanto Corporation. Another one is William Ruckelshaus. Mr Ruckelshaus served as the EPA administrator, the agencies top position. Mr Ruckelshaus also serves on the board of Monsanto. There are many more connections to be made (dozens), it’s no secret that the government, EPA as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) all hold connections amongst each other.
The new rules...
It allows forage and hay teff to contain up to 100 ppm glyphosate (over one million times the concentration needed to cause cancer).
It allows oilseed crops to contain up to 40 ppm glyphosate, which is over 100,000 times the concentration needed to cause cancer.
It raises the allowable glyphosate contamination level of root crops (like potatoes) from 200 ppb to 6000 ppb.
It allows glyphosate contamination of fruits at anywhere from 200 ppb to 500 ppb.
Eat up sheeple!
