Roundup IS relatively safe from ALL that I have read.

You obviously have done little reading, which only burnishes your




anti-rationalism and ignorance, which you seem to think is a badge of




honor.








No lifetime feeding studies were done on glypho$ate. None.




We don't know what it can do.




We are the Guinea pigs.

You shouldn't through words like "ignorance" around so carelessly.



As a farmer, I know what RoundUp does. I have sprayed quack grass with it and it works well at the recommended rate. Not bad on Canadian

thistle when applied when they are in the rosette stage in August or

early September. When used for its intended purposes it is a great

product. Other activities of Monsanto with breeding of RR resistant

varieties, I question.


I meant "throw" instead of "through" in my reply. Just a wee bit of an
error. May Gawd forgive me.
