Default Scary Study - Roundup

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.

The application, by farmers, of Roundup to weeds is not the same thing as
a
'lifetime feeding study'.

Though a lifetime feeding study should the study be replicable will
probably (after Monsanto has pretended that the studies are flawed,
hammered it with PR droppings and dragged its feet for a decade) affect
the application by farmers of Roundup.

Indeed. But then that would be the whole point behind the conduct of such a
study.
