Glyphosate is not deemed to be super harmful, but is also something I don't think we should be ingesting unnecessarily; interaction with gut bacteria etc. There's a strong case for limting its use to just enough to keep pests at bay, and to have a non-use period just prior to harvest. However there's unlikely to be a strong case for the stupid worlders are bleating about deliberate mass poisoning for mind control or whatever the fuck the flavor of the week is.

Glyposate is a herbicide the pests are plants.

I never liked the idea of using it then immediately grazing the cows with it, as was promoted a few years ago rather than after brown off as it was originally speced for.
Turns out my gut was right when it started causing residue problems
It is however still one of the safest Herbicides, not to mention the cheapest now Monsanto's patent has lapsed.

Its use is limited, It has labels it is also limited in that the use has to be documented and applied by approved handlers when used as widely dispersal.

Also the original idea of the round up ready plant cultivairs was sound in that you could use it with up having to use the more toxic but (uncrop harming) herbicides.
Of course Monsanto wanted to much and also wanted to make the plants sterile as well.

Pretty much. Also, I know where my flour came from.

I can't cover every possible cause of ill health in my diet, but I check enough to cover the obvious ones.

And while it's possible to coke yourself to death it's a fucking sight more difficult to die eating anything available from your local market than with anything you'd likely to have been eating before modern agriculture came along.

Everyone's different.

ahyes. Grain based diets. Completely evolutionary.... Nawt.
Given that 99% of shit around you is edible, in a pre agrarian society...

Also, death not being the end game. Rather sick, unthinking, domicile...

As to "roundup ready" FOOD crops.
Yeah. Nah. Fucken whatever aye.

Ah yes, we're all eating such toxic shit we're dying decades later.

Facts. Getem.

Been on the grain based diet for years

Done me no harm

The problems begin when you start blending grains

And use shitty water

Balance. Before pesticides we'd be lucky to eat a quarter of what we grew. And that we did eat was a fairly high proportion of weevil or similar.

So, enough pesticides to be able to reap most of what we plant, but not enough to kill us.

We must have it roughly right, we're a lot healthier than our ancestors. Although 'er indoors is now on my case about too much fruit, ffs...

How do you imagine weeds are controlled in the bazillion acres of grain crops grown across the prairies of the world? Hordes of Mexicans with chop hoes working through the night?

Unless you buy organic you probably won't have eaten a single cereal grain that hasn't been sprayed with herbicides in your entire life.

No need to be a scared, old, white muthafucka about it. Crappy scouse genetics, fags and relentless negativity will do for you long before glyphosate has a look in.
