Unless, of course, this is a media hit job.

Great. I live on Phoenix where they love their Disney Desert gravel landscaping and they keep it neat with constants rain of herbicides of all kinds. To make it even better the Leaf Blower Army constantly blows all of these herbicides up in the air with the dirt for me to breathe.

What really bothers me is the practice of desiccation. Shortly before harvest grain crops and legumes are sprayed with Roundup (glyphosate) so that the plants will die standing and begin to dry out before reaping.

I thought they dried out naturally but this speeds up the process I guess and reduces spoilage. It’s a sick thing to do and most oat products test high for glyphosate.

And yet DDT is safe, but now it is banned.

Interestingly, DDT is fairly simple to make if you have the precursor chemicals. There's the rub. Chloral Hydrate, the precursor to DDT, is a controlled substance. So really have to make Chloral Hydrate first, and then the DDT. The recipes are available on the internet. If you can make a chocolate cake from scratch, then homemade DDT is a cinch.

“... regulators have agreed with the companies in concluding there is no cancer risk with glyphosate. European officials reaffirmed that view in an 11,000-page report issued last month....

Concerns about glyphosate have mounted since 2015 when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen based on scientific studies conducted by independent researchers.”

If it was made in China, I’d bet the WHO would approve of it!

So it’s not that studies are faked to show cause cancer when it doesn’t ?

Wonder how they know that ?

Oh yeah, they hate capitalism.

I do wonder how many people will starve if Roundup is ‘uninvented’.
