Some weeds you'll need the really nasty weedkillers that arnt generally available to the public . Vote 'em out next election. (Except Ellerslie, that has to be abandoned as incurable.) ;) |

We are now living longer than ever before One guy died of Roundup and now they say it causes cancer. Its been around for 30 years and used all over the world. Just be careful when using it. Just about everything we use could cause cancer if we use enough of it. Some people are prone to cancer - others are not! |

| 1454863 | 2018-10-25 07:52:00 | Well it seems quite plausible to me, After all Monsanto is promoting crops that are resistant to Round up, so farmers can spray their crops with Round up and it kills the weeds but not the crops. So none of of this Round up get absorbed into the crop? That's bullshit! We might be living longer than ever, but not better than ever. We exercise less, eat & drink crap, and rely on doctors to keep us going at a younger and younger age. |

Not often you're wrong, but you're right again. Yup, meant Epsom. (Were the salts named after it, or is it just that they share a common effect when applied?) PS, My opinions may not represent those of the ACT party. ;) :devil |

| 1454865 | 2018-10-25 09:08:00 | Yeah, have to side with Laggard re the Glyphosate in breakfast cereals. It's no surprise. Within the last decade Monsanto has 'massaged' the rules to allow the production and mass sales of glyphosate resistant food crops. Then they've further 'massaged' the rules to allow a shorter witholding period between spraying the crop and harvest (so less chance for residual spray to be washed away / broken down / metabolised (ie, more of it left in your food), and then they've further 'massaged' the rules to allow higher levels of spray residue to exist in the harvested food products. It's all in the interests of selling great masses of glyphosate, and fostering what would formerly have been considered reckless and excessive use of the product on the very foods we are all expected to swallow. Heaven forbid, now that glyphosate has benn found to have antibiotic properties they might try to suggest we rinse ourselves in the stuff. Glyphosate shower soap anyone? Criticism aside, I use the stuff myself, albeit on a small scale. Tried using it in gel form - a bit like an oversize deodorant stick, and it was a total load of (wasted money). Useless garbage that the weeds laughed off, but the mixed up spray concentrate does the job. Used sensibly, it's probably fairly safe, but Monsanto has been willingly pushing the limits to get the world using silly, and quite possibly hazardous applications of the stuff... all in the name of greater profits from a product that was already immensely profitable. I hope they choke on their money. |
