"...it's an innocent bystander..."

No.

Have you ever heard of hydrolysis? It's being poisoned by too much pure water. Drenching our food in chemicals is toxic. Glyphosate is a carcinogen when in quantity that is present in our foods. That does not reduce the far worse toxicity of the other chemicals in RoundUp.

It's the development model of centralized institutions that is the actual carcinogen, that causes Big Ag to plant vast acreages of monocultures it is economically profitable to drench in herbicide. Decentralization of food production, each household growing it's own food with aquaponics, is the solution.

Arguing about the relative toxicity of the chemicals in our mass produced simulated foods is not useful to that technological advance. Eliminating the industrial manufacturing model is. All that is necessary to do that is stop buying chemical sludge with some claimed nutritional content in it.

Aquaponics, growing our own food, is the solution. Decentralization is the solution to all political, environmental, and developmental problems in the world today.
