He didn't say "more harmful", he said "more carcinogenic". That is a very specific form of harm.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoMy point is it's a politicians response - the questioner asked about harm and the answer was a shift to a specific form of harm so that drinking Roundup could be compared to drinking coffee. It's perhaps strictly true, buy the manner is dishonest. Such an answer discredits the writer. The intent is to sow the idea that 'Roundup is less harmful to drink than coffee' even if the explicit expression was different.
