Reminds me of the DDT hysteria. Look what that got us.

The new French research found the surfactants not only amplify the effects of glyphosate, but glyphosate also amplifies the effects of the surfactants.

Glyohosate makes soap soapier.
Suppose phosphates would work too?

[sasquatch]

glyphosate
sorry.

I agree, spread some today, cough, cough, cough ... doing fine. Will spread more tomorrow, cough, cough.

Been using this stuff for years, no ill effects, as of yet. ;-)

Yep..the farmers are the reason for chemical poisoning, also glo-bull warming, obesity, ruining the water supply, using up all the water supply, hormone tainted meat/milk causing early puberty, animal abuse,...I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more. We raise cattle & hay and are pretty sick & tired of hearing about all of it.

People who complain about these things are usually the first to complain about higher food prices.

darn,,,we’re all gonna die /s

Life is fatal if you live long enough.

[wyokostur]

Naa..aah! Not if you have government health care..then you will live FOREVER!!!

[mrsalty]

Eat Healthy, Exercise= Still Die! That’s the bottom line!

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Harmless.

Harmless? HARMLESS? HARMLESS? HARMLESS???

You try getting a paper cut and sticking a little table salt on it and say that's harmless. That stings, you heartless, evil capita-conserva-racist!

Well, as far as I know there is no food crop where Round-up is used.

[tiki]

And if you check out life expectancy it went up right after they introduced chemicals on the farms, not when we got penicillin.

[tiki]

So they have Round-Up ready soybeans and corn? I didn’t know. They have a cotton variety that can be sprayed throughout the season.

What societies are we talking about?

[wyokostur]

Chemicals & farming go together like puppies & kids

[tiki]

That’s what I was thinking, only the tough survive.

I know this is only anecdotal but my MIL lived through the introduction of all the new chemicals on the farm and all she has is osteoporosis, which runs in her family.

They are treating her with a chemical, Boniva, and it is flat amazing what has happened in the last 4 months. Her mind is going fast though. Oh yeah, she’s 87.

My mother was healthy as a horse accept the Alzheimer’s, all her sisters had it too. She died at 86 from complications of a broken hip.

In reality, if we did a lousy job of feeding them, more of them would be dead and using less space, water, fuel, IOW, using up the resources of the planet. That is important because it is all about Earth, not people.

It is so stupid, the envirowienies want to save the Earth from people but what the hell good is it without them. I mean if we were all dead who would care if the Earth was somewhere out there in space.

[boop]

Exactly! Without humans, the Earth is meaningless! No dog is going to look at a sunset and be overwhelmed by its beauty.

I love Roundup. Just spray and watch the weeds die.

[Lancey Howard]

Of course, I never snort the stuff.
