>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to start testing certain foods for residues of the world’s most widely used weed killer after the World Health Organization’s cancer experts last year declared the chemical a probable human carcinogen.
>The FDA’s move comes amid growing public concern about the safety of the herbicide known as glyphosate, and comes after the U.S Government Accountability Office (GAO) rebuked the agency for failing to do such assessments and for not disclosing that short-coming to the public.
>Private companies, academics, and consumer groups have recently launched their own testing and claim to have detected glyphosate residues in breast milk, honey, cereal, wheat flour, soy sauce, infant formula, and other substances. FDA officials dubbed the issue “sensitive” and declined to provide details of the plans, but FDA spokeswoman Lauren Sucher said the agency was moving forward to test for glyphosate for the first time in the agency’s history.
>The start-up costs to implement selective residue methods for glyphosate at six FDA testing laboratories is pegged at about $5 million, according to a statement the FDA gave the GAO after the GAO criticized FDA for not testing for glyphosate in a 2014 audit. The GAO reported that it found multiple deficiencies in the FDA’s pesticide residue testing program, and specifically cited a failure to test for glyphosate, which the GAO called the “most used agricultural pesticide.”

>Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, and is the most widely used herbicide in the world. Monsanto patented the herbicide in the 1970s, and it quickly became popular for its effectiveness in killing troublesome weeds. Glyphosate use skyrocketed after Monsanto introduced “Roundup Ready” crops in the mid-1990s, which were genetically engineered to be immune to glyphosate—meaning farmers could spray the pesticide directly over the crops. There are also many non-GMO crops, including wheat, that are sprayed directly with glyphosate before being harvested to help dry them out. Glyphosate is now off patent and is used in hundreds of herbicide products around the world.
>The FDA effort comes during an intense political debate over perceived risks of genetically modified crop technology to human health and the environment, and glyphosate residues on food is a key concern. Several states have moved to mandate labeling of foods made with GMOs, and one such measure in Vermont is set to take effect July 1. Many large food industry players and agribusiness interests are fighting mandatory labeling and seeking a federal bill that would block Vermont’s law.
Have any of you ever tu/ck/ed into one of these bad boys?

I would try to consum eeither within a week. And I'm assuming you are talking cooked on both.
You can go longer. Let your nose be your guide. If it smells off, pitch it.

So, /ck/, what do you think of the pairing of super cheap knives with an electric sharpener? I'm not naturally skilled or nimble with knives like a lot of people are, nor am I good at keeping the knives I do have sharp. Why not just have an easy and cheap way to hone my skills with cheapshit but regularly sharp knives?

So what's your question?
Cheap knives go well with whatever, they're cheap and won't hold onto their edge for more than a couple uses, but certainly hold their own in a kitchen.
Beware of bones and fffffucking ceramic countertops.

The main problem with electric sharpeners is that they heat up and ruin the temper of your edge. If you're using them on cheap knives that you don't really care about, have at. It's a perfectly viable alternative.
I actually recommend it for most occasional home cooks. Spend the money on tools as your skills improve. A person with skills is enhanced by good tools. The greatest knife in the world will not turn a rookie into a god of cooking.
