I agree with you , one of the reasons I've been enlarging my garden every year . We (well , I , everybody else pooh-pooh's me) also suspect many of our family's "corn allergies" are probably caused by the glyphosate in corn products . It's weird that my wife never had problems until Roundup was in wide usage ... -- Snag |

Or are you claiming that because you are a "non-believer", you've had your brains kicked out and can't read for comprehension and automatically prefer to believe a multi-national which has a vested commercial interest in providing 'proofs' that form part of a very professional marketing strategy? Does anyone in the NG actually believe the citation to have anything to do with science or research? FFS! The place produces pigs!!! It's not some airy, fairy green space for drugged up hippies. ANY producer of animals who hopes to make a living from producing animals keeps records. In fact in most cases the keeping of animal production records is mandatory in order to be accountable to the Tax regime in any country. The figures he gives about the numbers of piglets born, the number of piglets weaned, the number suckled and the reduction of medication,. the incidence of defects are all as much facts as are the information on trial results presented by Monsanto. The only change (according to him) is in the food. You could quibble that he may well be telling a lie about changing that but then the same applies to what Monsanto says. He's claiming to have done his figures over a sample of 30,000. That is a big sample size. Monsanto would probably be pushed to produce any equivalency for their trials that supposed provide similar proof of safety. Frankly, I see it as pure "bee-oh-ell-oh-gee-in-aay": Unadulturated, religiously ideological, claptrap prepared for an audience of true believers willing to accept dogma as fact and already believing GMO's to be "evil" in and of themselves (as evidenced by their attendance at something called, "1st Forum of Development and Environmental Safety"). Those comments are ridiculous and hysterical. Furthermore, it is presented in a "publication" widely discounted for its grand, "Widely discounted"???? Good example of a sweeping statement for which you provide no supporting evidence. sweeping unqualified statements of "facts" (for example, it routinely advises tyros to plant beans because "they fix nitrogen in the soil")which often bear an astounding similarity to the offal that comes out of the Rodale pipeline or comes from those thieves who sell dirt and/or berries as "food supplements". Whatever the speaker may have done with his swine, it surely was not research: The speaker cites arbitary sample selection, no controls, no defined experimental regimen, "conclusions" drawn from no actual evidence whatsoever Of course there is evidence, but you are as blind as you claim he is - in fact more so given the illogical reasoning and claims you've made in order to object to what he says. Any animal producer who sees claims of increased production, less birth defects, less disease and less medication knows that all of those things are desirable outcomes. but, instead, presents coincidence as causality (a disturbingly common practice among the save-the-worlders) because it "seems" to be "reasonable" but is more closely related to "drinking the Kool-aid" than to drinking glyphosate. Bear in mind when reading the piece that the _only_ actual, substantiated, _conclusion_ to be drawn from the entire body of so-called evidence in the entire piece is in this statement: The researchers note: “Further investigations are urgently needed to prove or exclude glyphosate in malformations in piglets and other animals.” Jesus wept! "The only actual substantiated conclusion to be drawn"!!!!! Did you think about that before you hit send? And especially in light of your claims throughout the rest of your post about how there are no facts, no research, no evidence. The pig producer gets increased returns form a change of feed. More live births, less birth defects, less medication, and although he didn't say it, more live pigs at the marketing stage therefore means more money in his pocket. They are all "facts" that any agricultural producer understands. He's a pig producer. He's paying for the amount of work he has already done and that amount of work is quite considerable. He's not a university research scientist who may or may not be getting money from Monsanto to do research in order to support Monsanto's claims of the safety of Glyphosate. Hé salso not Monsanto who has very deep pockets. Use your brain. Reread the article and try to do so as a producer not a knee jerk nay sayer. |

I've seen enough evidence to be convinced that glyphosate is NOT as safe as they'd have us believe . Further , I believe that in the end it will be implicated in CCD colony collapse disorder in honeybees . -- Snag |
