responsible for the generation of new RoundUp Ready superweeds.

Just like past "scare mongering" about cigarette smoking and nuclear power I guess? Both of which have proved to be completely benign, and unlikely to be harmful in any way.

No. More like the "scare mongering" about MMR and mobile phones frying
your brains. The former has actually caused serious fatalities too.

Monsanto cares only about making money, and has no worries about selling products which are unsafe and have not been properly tested, as long as the cash continues to roll in.

As I said I don't like Monsanto at all and you should *NOT* buy
RoundUp(TM) for precisely *THAT* reason. If you look back through the
urg and rec.garden archives you will find that I have been saying the
same thing ever since the GM controversy exploded.

Glyphosate is pretty benign - the wetting agents used in commercial
pesticide formulations are more dangerous.
