Someone suggested digging it in...a good organic idea-nothing
wrong with
exercise, especially when it means one less pint of chemical put
into the
environment.

I have no objection to that. I also have no objection to eating
it.

By the way, do you have any data on the temperature at which
glyphosate decomposes? Do you know whether it survives a typical
cooking procedure?

What about the effect on rivers/streams of glyphosate that washes
off
the plants before it has decomposed?

It washes off the plant during the first rain after application, and
decomposes in the soil in a very brief time.
When I mentioned cooking, I had in mind the minuscule quantities which
may still have remained absorbed inside the vegetable.
