Default The dangers of weed killers - Glyphostae aka Roundup, the hidden killer.

However, the "organic" branding serves as a guide for those consumers
who want to control their intake of chemicals, for whatever reason. The
fact that organic does allow some chemicals passes the by. The fact
that imported organic may not actually be so they conveniently forget
(some I think believe that only UK farmers cheat - which in organic I
do not think any do, processors, on the other hand .... )


I do not think UK organic growers cheat either.

However there are now some very large commercial organic growers with
associated conventional farms alongside. I have two next to me for
example. One day, if margins get tight and 50ac of highly valuable
produce is destined for ploughing under at a huge loss, I would be less
than certain.
