“Health for all, Hunger for None.”

The Bayer slogan behind a federal act invocation.

Here Nina B. Elkadi and Naomi Oreskes discuss President Trump's invocation of the Defense Production Act to boost glyphosate (Roundup) production, arguing that the "national security" framing is unwarranted since the herbicide is primarily used on crops for livestock feed and ethanol, not direct human nutrition. They highlight growing evidence linking glyphosate to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other health problems, and criticize the administration for helping Bayer evade legal liability rather than letting the company defend its product in court.
