Esta mierda otra vez? The ambulance pursuit law firms are scraping the bottom of the cash cow barrel with this one-I guess their talcum powder/cancer scam is running dry...

Only bio-safe products are okay to use in most areas out here-Roundup or any other inorganic herbicide or pesticide can’t be used-but it has nothing to do with cancer or anything like that-it is about how close you are to the river, lake, streams and other groundwater, and the hazards to the livestock which most people have-no need for Roundup with just a couple of golf courses and no real neighborhoods with manicured lawns all over the place...

This just sounds like a new meaty bone being thrown to the trial lawyer mafia...

WSJ always goes too far on this kind of stuff.

“Pro-business” to the point of being anti-human safety and anti-country (re: borders and illegal immigration).

“How do these trial lawyers get away with this!?”

That’s easy-most of them are reliable democrat voters, campaign donators and lobbyists...

I hate clams and oysters; don’t eat them. But lobster, crab, shrimp... that another bucket of butter. I used Round-Up for 35+yrs in my nursery business - never drank it - but too precautions with eyewear and mask, with no ill effects.

I will never forget when here in SoCal everyone got their panties all bunched up over the Spraying of Malathion to rid of us the the Med fruit Fly, then the Head Honcho Downed a Whole Bottle on National TV, he still talks about today.

if you drench your food with it, it won’t be food. Kill the weeds in the field with it and plant 2 weeks later. Up comes food. Grow for a couple of months and consume.

Just use a mix of bleach and salt water. That’ll kill the weeds and grass.

Unfortunately, round up is absorbed by the roots from the soil.

“I used Round-Up for 35+yrs in my nursery business - never drank it - but too precautions with eyewear and mask, with no ill effects.”

I’m glad to hear that, but if you bundled up well and didn’t eat anything in your nursery, one would expect your exposure was minimal.

But just to round out your testimony, Please post any medications you regularly take and the names of any chronic conditions you’ve been diagnosed with.

Best

Glyphosate is no more toxic than warm clam juice.

Tell that to the weeds !

What grows in warm clam juice may make you ill

I didn’t say I’d drink clam juice; makes me gag. Wouldn’t drink RU either. It clearly stated on the directions, to use precautions for eye, mouth/nose and skin protection, and explicitly clean-up and bare skin thoroughly, after use.

Ethyl bromide is 1,000x more toxic, used for sterilizing soils, and we worked with it on many occasions, without any bad results.

Sounds like the guy didn’t know what he was doing, or couldn’t read/follow simple directions, in plain English.

I wonder how much the posters here actually have studied any of this. The uncritical pro-corporatist bias that leftists charge against conservatives has some basis in reality.

I have a background in the physical sciences, and I have studied diet and nutrition since 1989. I have educated myself about Monsanto since 1996.

Actually, one of the best books on Monsanto was written by a staunch conservative, whom I heard interviewed by Barbara Simpson.

Glyphosate is not harmless, and is strongly implicated in Leaky Gut Syndrome, and in Colony Collapse Disorder. Monsanto bought Beealogics c. 2012 and buried the incriminating data.

They are all pals... Judges, Lawyers, Politicians. They take care of each other. This judge will be rewarded with some high paying no-show job at a law firm. You don’t think that his govt pension will be considered adequate, do you?

If you knew how much of it was used on food - including wheat - rather than basking in your sarcasm you’d grasp how dumb your statement sounds.
