Big deal ...sunlight will do the same thing and I'm not staying inside my cave and not venture forth. Roundup IS relatively safe from ALL that I have read. If small amounts increase the chance of cancer in rats then DON'T FEED IT TO RATS...problem solved. 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. http://www.i-sis.org.uk/glyphosatePoisonsCrops.php http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/tx800218n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpad_Pusztai -- Welcome to the New America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg or E Pluribus Unum Green Party Nominee Jill Stein & Running Mate, Cheri Honkala http://www.democracynow.org/2012/7/1...l_stein_runnin g You shouldn't through words like "ignorance" around so carelessly. When you say things like, "If small amounts increase the chance of cancer in rats then DON'T FEED IT TO RATS...problem solved.", you can expect to be consigned to a playpen. Ignorance can be cured, stupidity, can't. 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 occasional application to an isolated problem, may have merit, but in wholesale use for weeding crops, you are damaging the topsoil, which in the long run we will need top grow post industrial crops. Presently, it takes more than a calorie of fossil fuel energy to produce a calorie of food; before the advent of chemical fertilizer a farm produced more than two calories of food energy for every calorie of energy invested. Interplanting will grow more food than monocultures. For this more labor intensive agriculture, you need the ecology of topsoil. -- Welcome to the New America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg or E Pluribus Unum Green Party Nominee Jill Stein & Running Mate, Cheri Honkala http://www.democracynow.org/2012/7/13/green_party_nominee_jill_stein_running |
