The legality of known highly toxic herbicides is quite shocking. Paraquat, which is widely used in the US and across the world, has a lethal dose of only 10 mL. There is no antidote or effective treatment and many people have died as a result. But people don’t seem to care. A couple squirts to kill some plants is just too convenient.

Europe will soon decide whether to ban or to allow roundup (glyphosate-based herbicide) for 15 more years. I fear that this will indeed happen, despite many groups (for instance parkinson patients) fighting to ban it.

I don't entirely understand how they can draw the conclusion that glyphosate affects social perception, when it was found in 96% of the sample group. Wouldn't that make the control group for non-glyphosate too small to have any statistically significant conclusions?
