Pro-Monsanto Lobbyist Says Weedkiller is Safe to Drink, Then Panics When Offered a Glass

Pro-Monsanto Lobbyist Says Weedkiller is Safe to Drink, Then Panics When Offered a Glass

Patrick Moore is a former Greenpeace president who has since gone on to become a supporter of the highly controversial genetically modified foods.
Moore has specifically been promoting the dangerously untested and risky “Golden Rice” in the media.
But in March of 2015, he was called out in the French media after boasting that he could drink a glass of glyphosate and not be harmed.
Used currently as the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, glyphosate actually was just declared a “probably human carcinogen” by the World Health Organization. But Moore apparently doesn’t think it’s dangerous to human health according to the clip below in the French media.
“You can drink a whole quart (of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup) of it and it won’t hurt you,” Moore boasts (see clip below courtesy of our friends at the Organic & Non-GMO Report) before backtracking.
The host surprises Moore and challenges him to live up to his word, and to take a drink. His reaction shows just how full of hot air he really was (click below to see it)
