It is not Bushes fault it is Monsanto fault..
They stopped using Roundup in Berkely and Oakland years ago it also contributed to the fires which burned down the Oakland hills about 20 yrs ago ....

Roundup isn’t a pesticide.

" The bottom line is more research is needed before we can fully understand the effects of glyphosate exposure."

In other words, give us more grant money ... we need to do more research!!!

"Most of the food we eat that contains corn or soy was sprayed with glyphosate herbicide, and we’re being exposed to higher and higher levels of residue."

When Round-Up Ready crops are sprayed with glyphosates, it is done in the first couple of weeks in the plant's life -- weeds are not a problem as soon as the plant attains enough size to shade the ground. The plants are literally a few inches tall, at most. By the time a plant produces a cob of corn or a bean, a couple of months has passed. I'm seriously doubting how much "residue" is actually "in" the foods that result from the corn and beans.

It kills the weeds so I don’t have to pull them.

Roundup is just salt.
Harmless.

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?

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.

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

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

Dear Mother Earth News,

I don’t drink Round Up. I use it on weeds.

You know what is more dangerous than drinking Round Up? Ingesting all the crap Mother Earth News puts out in their leftist rag.

Over and Out....

If the impact on reproduction is so great then why are there abortions and why are there still unwanted animals in shelters.

The potential real-life risks from this are infertility, low sperm count, and prostate or testicular cancer.

imagine a weaponized version.
