Up For A Chat

UC 291: White Wash by Monsanto about Roundup with Carey Gillam

This is an explosive interview that leaves Carren angry, so upset that there can be blatant lies and deception in government and the corporations in agriculture.  The Up for A Chatters interview Carey Gillam a veteran journalist, researcher and writer with more than 25 years of experience in the news industry covering corporate America.   She is also a Mum, someone concerned about the lies and deception that is hurting humanities health.  Carey traces the corruption of science in startling detail, uncovering stories of how agribusiness has taken advantage of “useful” government employees and censored or discredited scientists to bury evidence of harm. Her investigation reveals how political influence has been at work for years in regulatory agencies such as the FDA, USDA, and even within the EPA—the very agency created as a result of Carson’s findings in Silent Spring. Carey’s book Whitewash lays bare unappetising truths about the levels of glyphosate and other pesticides commonly found in our food products.
