Billy: National Pesticide Information Center did the study. a short term study with rats isn't going to reveal long term effects. some effects may not appear for more years than you'll be alive. who cleans it up if a mistake is made? all those acres you spray stuff on, what happens if it is shown to be contaminated and the food you grow is no longer acceptable for animal or human consumption? do you think those companies that sell you that stuff are going to have deep enough pockets to make things right? to decontaminate the soil? to pay for whatever healthcare you and/or your decendants might need as a result? what about people you might be poisoning downwind? groundwater? or people who buy your food? an insurance company can only cover so much before they go under. here is an example of what is actually going on: http://news.sudanvisiondaily.com/det...?rsnpid=214316 a clear sign that poisons do not work in a sustainable manner. this process has been demonstrated over and over again in many ways yet here we have yet another poison and plants being modified so that such poisons can be used to spray fields. i'm really glad i'll have more poison to breath in coming from the fields around me, going into the water, etc. songbird I doubt that you and Billy will ever believe ANYTHING that ANY Authority publishes. The NPIC has issued some pretty good investigative studies on a plethora of pesticides and I would not hesitate in trusting their literature as a guide for usage. They also know how to use "Capital Letters" when they begin sentences. Never read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...rotection_Agen cy#Controversies did you? The EPA has also had some really crummy advice, like telling first responders that the air around the World Trade Center was safe to breath, which sent them, and residents back into a toxic environment. "According to the report: a September 18 EPA statement saying that the air was "safe"[1] was made without sufficient reliable data available; the White House Council on Environmental Quality influenced the EPA to make reassuring comments to the public; and on September 12 the EPA Administrator issued a memo saying that all statements to the media must be cleared by the National Security Council. Numerous key differences between the draft versions and final versions of EPA statements were found. A recommendation that homes and businesses near ground zero be cleaned by professionals was replaced by a request that citizens follow orders from NYC officials. Another statement that showed concerns about sensitive populations was deleted altogether. Language used to describe excessive amounts of asbestos in the area was altered drastically to minimize attention to the dangers it posed.[2]" ------ Because the EPA writes a "puff piece" on the EPA, you believe them? Glyphosate, and GMOs "MAY" be perfectly safe, but the reason that they were rushed to market without feeding studies is MONEY. We are the Guinea pigs.
