Hi Charlie,

If you buy your food from the grocery store I wouldn't worry
too much about the pittance of Roundup any of us might use.

Typical notill farming for corn, soybeans and now they have
Roundup ready wheat seed too. Spray whole field with Roundup
and either plant at the same time or wait a few days. After
your desired crop is on the way up and the weeds are taking
hold spray whole field with Roundup again. The seed/crop has
been genetically engineered so it is virtually immune to
Roundup.

There are hundreds of acres with in easy walking distance
from me that have been douched with Roundup for many years
now.

I've seen/read studies showing that low levels of Glyphosate
(Roundup's active ingredient) can be detected in just about
everything we eat/buy made from corn, soybeans and wheat.

Use it judicially, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over what
we might do with it. Worry about the thousands and thousands
of acres douched with it by agriculture...
