Roundup weedkiller

But how long would you live doing that?

 

Breaking news, Ben & Jerry's are going to introduce a new range of ice creams, 'glyphosate free'.

 

They going to test everything that comes into the factory , they should do because you can't trust some people to play by the rules they set

 

Like Row over organic standards after glyphosate found in Tesco, Waitrose organic products.

It seems like the most reliable way to avoid food produced from cereals sprayed with glyphosate (to accelerate ripening) is to eat products made from GM cereals

 

I am inclined to think there are so many common factors in life. One perhaps being. Do we bother to read the instructions. This applies in several aspects. "Know it all" sets about assembling some flat packed furniture. Instructions....bah! That's another job done....never mind the bits I've got left over.

Hit and miss in the medical field. Doc says. "Try this for a couple of weeks2 "Try this"!!!!

Some years ago, I had duodenal ulcers. Tagamet was prescribed at one stage. Tagamet was known to encourage stomach cancer. GP says. We'll concentrate on the ulcers first and then treat whatever. Really filled me with confidance.

Back to Glysophate. It neutralises when it comes into contact with the soil, that's why it can be sprayed onto crops/weeds and the soil resown immediately. It is not neutralized in contact with the crops.

 

And what about yer stomach, does it neutralize in the human body or does it accumulate, one ben & jerry's is safe but after 200 ben & jerry's are you at high levels???????

 

Or after 200 pints of beer? Majority of beer contains glyphosate and pesticides, new study shows

 

Ha ha Mike....."read the instructions"?? I do now for flat pack assembly and the like. You are right.....Often had a spare bolt or other left over so learned the hard way
However, it is quite scary when I see some folk mixing garden sprays ....often carelessly and over strong

 

I'm not surprised. It really worries me that cereal crops are sprayed with glyphosate just a few weeks before harvest. I know from almost first hand experience that the so call agronomists employed by the spray companies recommend this and build it into the so called 'crop protection' regime. Some of them will even drink the stuff to "prove" it is harmless as they say. Sheesssh. Most bread tests positive for glyphosate these days. I really do hope the EU bans it.

 

I just think it should be banned for certain uses.
Spaying edible crops should be banned.

But I dont see why it should be banned for killing weeds.

We already have pesticides that are stated for edible plants and ornamental plants, so I cant see why the same cannot apply for weedkillers, in fact I do agree that no weedkillers should be applied to edible crops.

 

What ususually happens is the EU will propose banning us amateur gardeners from using it to carefully kill bindweed, but allow farmers to continue using 1,000s of tons of the stuff on food crops (because they're trained professionals).
