In a special event sponsored by the Public Policy Center, Carey Gillam talks about her new book, Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science. "’Outrage’ is the only word that captures the experience of reading Carey Gillam's Whitewash . . . Her exhaustive examination of the history of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup—reveals that a herbicide as common as laundry detergent is the health and environmental calamity of modern agriculture . . . This is a story about what happens to public health and the environment when capitalism overthrows the social contract and the fever for profit poisons the heart against all morality."—Sierra Club Carey Gillam is a veteran journalist, researcher, and writer with more than 25 years of experience covering corporate America. A former senior correspondent for Reuters' international news service, Gillam digs deep into the big business of food and agriculture. She lives near Kansas City.
