Default "fearmongering" from the "liberal media"

It says a lot about these anthropomorphic superweeds that even the

"Anthromorphic superweeds" what's that supposed to mean?

From what I'm reading, this Pigweed (Amaranthus palmeri),
is just like any other pigweed except that it's herbicide
resistant. There's nothing "super" about it.

Too bad for the farmers, they're back to paying someone to pull
this stuff by hand. Depending on how you look at it, that's either
good or bad. I suppose bad for the farmers and anyone that wants
inexpensive goods. Good for farm workers and anyone afraid of
Glycophosphate.

Interesting to read that Pigweed is edible and could be a crop.
