He understands quite well. He would just rather eat grains that have
been treated with paraquat and Hoelon than Roundup.

Bwahahahaha. A dumb American who thinks grains are 'treated' with
herbicide.

He also feels that
progressive applications of herbicides during the growing season add a
piquant flavor to his bread. It's a gourmet thing.

ROFL. He bloody also thinks there is herbicide in bread so one can
taste it.


not only with herbicides preharvest but also with insecticides and rodenticides
post harvest.

Agricultural workers are poisoned regularly handling grains.

Surely, Cor, there are preharvest applications for herbicides in
grain-fields, and surely grains for food may be postharvest treated
with insecticides for storage. But interesting topics as they are,
isn't that a digression in the present context, seeing we were coming
from control of wild oats with herbicides?

As we saw earlier, Gordon Couger has apparently fallen so much in love
with RR wheat that he has lost sight of knowledge that chemical
control of wild oats in the crop is already possible e.g. with Puma
herbicide, before any intervention of RR wheat.

And here, Larry Caldwell appears to have fallen in love with RR wheat
so much that he'd like to suggest there are significant gains in the
safety of eating and perceptible changes in the flavor of bread by
using roundup in RR wheat vs using weed control in wheat as it is done
currently.
