Pathway by which Glyphosate Wrecks Health

[valley ranch]

That's great, now you have glyphosate in the soil all around your house, for your family and neighbors.
Glyphosate, effects in parts per trillion. Do you have a garden close by, that's nice.

An article that shows that the use of organic food is directly tied to autism from her work. Both are climbing at the exact same rate. According to her, autism and Alzheimer's will increase due to glyphosate. Then why doesn't the AG community and those associated with its production have an inordinate % of diagnosed problems? She also in another article lies about spraying glyphosate on wheat and then harvesting it-illegal in USA. Too bad she can't do her homework correctly.

@bobm thanks for catch. Think valley is LadyHawke in disguise.

Wouldn't be surprised one bit. Or, if not ... they are both in the same anti business activist group.

Laying on the guilt trip ?

 

[valley ranch]

B M, You and the other Monsanto pusht, act shocked, hurt and indignant, demand proof and then don't listen. Studies are done all around the world, this crap you are selling is toxic and dangerious. Anti business, nobody's anti business, people are anti poison.

 

[dickiebird]

My family is glad to have it around our place as the work involved without using it is way more than I want to tackle.
At my point in this life I'll probably just fade into the sunset!!!
Oh, and don't come up with the stuff, "what about your kids and grand kids?" since I don't have any of either one there is not that concern.
And if I did believe that there is a problem with the stuff I'd not use it, but these documents you continue to post that are authored by questionable people and are way past out dated, will not sway my thoughts or use of this labor saving chemical!!!!

THANX RICH

 

[valley ranch]

Good for you RICH, I'm happy for you. Have a great day.

Forgive if my last post didn't sound friendly.

I have NO connection professioanly or economic or any other connection with Monsanto other than using Roundup from time to time as needed for weed / vegetation control using all of the label as well as USDA and EPA protocals for proper application and storage. Where I have a problem is using questionable " research" as " evidense" by questionable " scientists" and " experts" papers as the truth in your slanted point of view. I know that one time that you said that you do not belong to any activist group. However , your continuous posts suggest otherwise to an COORDINATED agenda that is against Monsanto , Roundup etc., at every twist and turn. So, FESS UP and tell us your true alegence to any and all actrivist groups that is bent of defaming a corporation and regulatory government agency. We are all waiting .....

 

[digitS']

Not waiting ... chaaarrge!

I am neither likely to agree with everything and everyone who has commented here nor with Teddy Roosevelt ...

(see, you are in good company)

Mr. Roosevelt was determined that corporations "subserve the public good." More power than any one man or woman can stand against, yet again in our nation's history.

Here is what Roosevelt also said, "No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality."

Yeah.

The only questionable scientists are those on the payrole of Monsanto. The government agencies who allow Monsanto have had on their staff people from Monsanto Corp. People from those same agencies have crossed the line and gone to work for Monsanto Corp.

B M, There is no need to get excited, and get that vein standing out on you forehead. You're in defence of a bad product, food tainted with it should be labled. Simple as that. I'll be happy to discuss each post and look at all material and see what we think is unimportant. Have you read the post. We can go over them.

Steve, Teddy Roosevelt was/is one of our greatest. I place him in the good company of General George Patton~ his speech to the Third Army..........always worth reading, always worth hearing.
