True. But:

"Similarly, because mammals do not bioaccumulate glyphosate and it is rapidly excreted, negligible levels of glyphosate in cattle, pig and poultry meat, milk, and eggs have been reported."
About five years ago, I read a report that stated it is present in over 85% of all food consumed by Americans, so even if you wanted to, there's no way to get it out of your diet. This report also linked it to the ever-growing numbers of children with allergies, asthma, skin diseases, and Autism. I would bet it is also responsible for the increase of intestinal, stomach, and colon cancers which were almost unheard of pre-1970s. (Not to mention our propensity for processed foods). Even if they stopped all production and banned it, it would likely take decades for our water and soil to heal.

The U.S. industry bathes their seeds, and the crops those seeds grow in Roundup.
It is literally in anything produced with corn, wheat, sorghum, and soy beans.

I'm less and less concerned every time someone tells me my all-meat diet is a bad thing.

It's in the animal's food.

Those animals are fed glyphosate too.

Gylosphosate is in a lot more than Roundup.
