Yep. I’ve worked in Agriculture since I left the Army in 1993. I know ALL about Glyphosate and GMO crops. Pro and Con.

I just don’t think trace amounts of Glyphosate is something to PANIC over. Now trace amounts of rat poop or hairs? THAT is something to PANIC over! ;)

That said, people can do their own research and make their own choices. As for me and mine, we grow the bulk of our veggies and raise our own meat critters, buy local eggs from a neighbor (I am laying hen deprived right now!) and we hunt and fish. We rarely, if ever, eat any of the junk food that’s daily consumed by The Unwashed Masses.

Would you rather have one of my home made, from scratch, Chocolate Chip Cookies or a package of Oreos? Blech!

I’m not saying our diet is perfect, but it’s perfect for us. The closer you can eat to the dirt, the field or the stream the better, IMHO. :)

P.S. And the whiter the bread, the sooner you’re dead! ;)

I like my food without ingredients that aren’t already in my kitchen cupboards, can’t pronounce well, and not sure what they are.... Sounds as though we pretty much agree.

I learned how to make bread when I was around 11 or 12 and pretty much kept at it ever since.

LOL. I eat closer to the dirt every year, as hubby builds a new garden patch every year to grow more stuff. Pretty soon there will be no backyard left, and I guess he’ll start on the side yard.
