As we all know, wine is made from grapes, and these grape plants are sprayed by Roundup. Roundup is used on every crop grown conventionally around the world. Contaminated soil can also retain these chemicals for over 20 years thereafter.
That is a blatant outright lie. There is no roundup resistant grape plant. Grapes are not sprayed with roundup. Vineyards in my area are listed with the USDA and farmers have to do extra paperwork and are restricted to certain conditions to be able to spray their row crops and pasture for up too and sometimes over a mile away if there is a vineyard.
Every crop grown conventionally? Also false. There is no publicly available roundup ready wheat, although wheat will get sprayed at maturity to kill it so that grain moisture is even and consistent at harvest. However, there are a lot of produce plants that are not roundup ready.
I don't want that shit in my food either, and yes it's the most widely used herbicide along side Atrazine (which has recently had some restrictions due to heavy runoff into streams and rivers destroying those ecosystems), but this article is sensationalism for the most part.
Glyphosate has for sure made it into nearly everything we eat, but it's not because those things are being sprayed with it.
You get it.
