Later, God also gave us the intelligence to unlock the genes in this primitive plant to improve it greatly and feed billions of people

Yep. Every domesticated plant or animal has been genetically modified in one way or another. It's amusing how hysterical people get over GM food, as if any agricultural products are somehow pure-free from human manipulation.

That being said, I use Roundup on the weeds in the alley and vinegar on the weeds in the play area.

As an ex farmer who would very familiar with Roundup; I found I don't know everything this spring.

Here is advice to others out there.
Make sure you have a gallon hand sprayer for Roundup, and another separate sprayer for broad leaf weeds.
Also make sure before you spray broad leaf weedkiller on your lawn; that you actually put broad leaf killer in the sprayer. Things don't turn out very well if you spray Roundup by mistake!

Especially when you are an ex farmer that (used to) makes fun of city people who who accidentally spray Roundup on their yards!

That’s terrific Jeff! Why don’;t you investigate the meaning of Bt altered food.
It’s called Bacillus Thuringenisis, a mix of virus, bacteria and insect parts but...
if you are good with that go for it Smart Guy.
