Money eh... the conquest of nature in order to turn a buck . We deserve extinction in so many ways.

Dear God. Who dreams up this shit? And shit.
The fantasies that go through the heads of the Big Pharma conspiracy theorists beggar belief. Perhaps if glyphosate wasn't routinely added to chemtrails, then things may be better?

Fuckin hippies, I've never seen an obese cow.
There is supporting research about if you look for it. http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416/pdf
From the abstract that one is definitely worth perusing before a kneejerk slagging off of the hippies.

Glyphosate is perhaps the most widely (independently) tested agrichemical in history, and it's perfectly safe. Conspiracy theorists can eat a dick.

A hippie at work jumped up and down because our maintenance guys used it recently. It made me do the research again and I'm still happy to use it on my patch of land. As an example of the sort of findings that get bandied about was one that glyphosate damages foetal cells. Oh no! Then I discovered that they did not discover this by spraying a mix on an analogue to study. They put some straight glyphosate in a petri dish and left some foetal cells in there. I'd imagine if you left some foetal cells on half the natural foods we eat for a while the result would not be good for the cells. FFS ... safe when used as directed! A handy tip I did pick up was if you are worried abut the stuff, put mulch over the area you spray as there's some enzyme or bacteria in active mulch that neutralises it quicker.
Ages ago I remember a guy from our national poisons centre saying that you could ingest the stuff and be 'OK'. More dangerous to get it in your eyes.
Nevertheless ... when using it ... its latex gloves, overalls and gumboots for me. I did watch an uncle of mine die over a period of years as a result of using agrichemicals (DDT etc) on his farm. He was 80 but his last years weren't good. Anyway, I do have a healthy respect for the sprays I use so I don't say I believe glyphosate to be safe lightly.

Scientific American's take on it.

I think there is two parts to it, using it to kill things is pretty low exposure as unless you're a complete numpty it won't end up in your gut. The second bit, where they breed GMO crops specifically so they can spray your food with round-up before consumption is another story, as numpty or not, that will get in your guts. The breif research I've been reading on that suggests erring on the safe side and avoiding ingestion.
Gut flora is not something you really want to fuck with.
