Oct. 18-21 was supposed to be a four-day public meeting event, held by the EPA, to discuss if glyphosate is safe. The EPA Scientific Advisory Panel decided to postpone the meetings after heavy lobbying by the agrichemical industry.

Biotech companies, including Monsanto, have all influenced the EPA in postponing these important and necessary meetings, saying the speakers will be too biased.
