Glyphosate is evil stuff

Evil stuff? Really? Do you even know or can you tell me, in your very own words without cutting and pasting from alarmist websites, exactly what the chemical makeup of Glyphosate is and why it is harmful?

http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/glyphogen.html

The truth is that Glyphosate (Round Up as made by Monsanto, but they are not the only company that manufactures and sells Glyphosate based herbicides BTW) has never been found to be particularly toxic to humans or other animals in except in very high does that would not be found in its normal application.

There are some “organic” farmers and hobby gardeners who use a homemade; a supposedly more “natural” and safe “organic” herbicide made from salt, vinegar and soaps in order to control weeds. But in reality it is pretty much is the very same chemical compound as is found in Round Up and other similar commercial herbicides. But it is less effective and in application meaning that more of it has to be used, it is more toxic than the commercially available products like Round Up, plus it is more expensive.

Salt, Vinegar, and Glyphosate
