There are health concerns with long-term exposure to glyphosate, but not by consumption of the end product. The stuff that gets sprayed with Roundup will get washed down and dairy doesn't contain glyphosate. Very few people actually come into contact with dangerous amounts of it, even over a long period of time.

I think governments know damn well that banning glyphosate, or even just marking it as dangerous, will threaten food supplies, while the stuff only endangers a select few people through long-time exposure. When it comes to food security, a few farmers getting sick and a collapsing ecosystem are a relatively small price to pay (from a government's perspective, at least). Plus, the farmers want to use this stuff anyway; safe alternatives are much less effective.
