No crops are EVER sprayed with Roundup, except to kill them.
No, sorry, that is wrong. As I said up thread, Monsanto has genetically modified crop plants to be immune to the effects of Roundup. This allows them to spray the fields with Roundup and it will only kill the weeds, not the crops.
To us home gardeners, it seems impossible because we know what Roundup does to any living plant tissue it touches. But trust me, it is true that the GM crops are sprayed with the stuff.
The corn in your Doritos? It was sprayed with Roundup. Seriously.
Really?
Then pray tell us what Roundup Ready means?
As for the hue and cry over GM crops, I am reminded of the hue and cry over global warming.
There are many things in nature that we do not understand but will someday.
The white nose disease in bats was mentioned. The honey bee deaths. The baby dolphins. Many others.
I suspect this is another yet unsolved mystery.
With all due respect, that is patently false. The entire “Roundup Ready” line of crops was produced to be sprayed by Roundup, and be the only crop to make it through the process. And if you didn’t know that, you may be even more surprised, that they have been working on (I don’t know if they acheived it yet or not) making crop that cannot germinate, EXCEPT in the PRESENCE of Roundup. Feel free to research more on the topic.
