I'd like to see glyphosate outlawed in US. I believe its widespread use has contributed to obesity in the US as well as increased cancers.

Searching for the first paragraph, I discovered it was the same as that at ambrook.com/research/supply-chain/mexico-trade-dispute-gmo-corn

My paragraph: "On December 31, 2020. Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a national decree to end the use of glyphosate and genetically modified corn by 2024"

Their paragaph: "In December 2020, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador signed a decree to gradually ban glyphosate, one of the world’s most common herbicides, and all genetically modified (GM) corn, by January 31, 2024. "

How is that the same?

I mean, how many ways are there to say the mexican president issued a national decree? Are you implying I plagiarized it or something? I have never heard of this website or this person.

Does it or does it not say the same thing?

I Googled your first paragraph to find the website as the first hit.

I did the Google search to try to find an English translation for the Mexican document that you linked to.

They are similar. Again, what is the point of your post if not to imply that I plagiarized it?

It would be nice to have a link to the English translation of the original document, if it is available.
