Default What's The Latest On Roundup Herbicide?

So it isn't a triple-dark-fudge brownie with a scoop of vanilla bean icecream on top, but Phrederik did write something interesting in :

This is, of course, untrue. You would be more convincing,
paghat, if you did not start off your screeds with an untruth,
and go downhill from there.


Better go back & read your own posts. It was your FIRST shot out the

gate
repeating Monsanto's outdated table salt canard. It's what happens

when
you take your perspective solely from Monsanto -- you end up

repeating
their stupidist tacts.


Again... you are shooting yourself in the foot...

"Safe as table salt" is NOT the same as "using glyphosate as table
salt".

At this point, you are the only one stating that people should be
using this stuff instead of salt.

The quote wasn't even "safe as table salt". And, Dr. Oliver
could have used "purified water" for the purposes of the
argument he used and still have been accurate.

Here is the quote paghat is referencing:

Of course, when you use near-lethal doses of *anything,* one can induce
mutagenic effects. Using this criteria, table salt is a deadly
poison. -- Bill Oliver Message-ID:

Saying that table salt is deadly is nowhere near the same as saying
"safe as table salt", nor even "using glyphosate as table salt."

Paghat's argument is not helped when she alters what was said
in order to support her statements.
