Wrong.

"Because the shikimic acid pathway does not exist in animals, the
acute toxicity of glyphosate is very low. "

"The direct toxicity of glyphosate to mammals and birds is low. "

Quotes from those well known agrichemical barons, Greenpeace.

Talk about select vision. Try quoting it in context and in
conjunction
with all the other research into this highly toxic substance.
OK, how about this bit :

Journal of Pesticide Research :
Glyphosate-containing products are acutely toxic to animals,

Greenpeace :
Because the shikimic acid pathway does not exist in animals, the
acute
toxicity of glyphosate is very low.

I understand.
Obviously not

Such a shame to see someone bury their head in the sand, an ostrich,
it's what it does, but a human!
So is glyphosate acutely toxic to animals or not then ?

You carry on consuming it then, cheers!
I don't consume it. I use it on ragwort, which *is* toxic.
