Roundup itself is a nightmare.

It's great stuff. They used to use a lot down in peanut country. Just don't feed it to your rats.

Throw it under the Commerce “when nothing else works” Clause

Oh, what a load of crap!! I’ve used Round-up since it came on the market, nearly 20 years on a commercial basis. I’m well over 65 and have no effects of any herbicide. My wife and i have 4 children well into their adulthood and no abnormalities. In addition, while in Nam I was operating in an area where “Agent Orange” (Round-up) was being used. I have no ill effects and AM NOT claiming any disability for Agent Orange. One should always was hands after use of any herbicide, wash vegetables and fruits before consumption and cook meats thoroughly. That’s common sense that doesn’t need government intervention. And, I am not an employee of Monsanto and never have been.

red tape? :) Yeah, you WERE ahead of your time...

Roundup itself is a nightmare. If you use it make SURE to wash your hands thoroughly, and keep far away from your children, and most especially pregnant women. the main ingredient has been shown to cause genital abnormalities in lab rats (mis-shapen, missing, both organs, double penises, yuck, etc.)

Seesh, it's been around for, what, 39 years, and now suddenly it's dangerous?

Better crawl back under your bed.............there's a BIG dark cloud on the horizon.

Because the Constitution allows the federal government to control agriculture. It's in Section... um... wait... I'm having problems finding that section....

The day that Monsanto buys an insurance policy to cover the cost of a mistake instead of relying upon Uncle Sugar to bless their product safety is the day that I'll entertain a bogus implication like this one.

Citations please. The left has been trying to sell that story for thirty years without success. Today, Monsanto has more reason to get rid of glyphosate than anybody: Their patent just ran out.

I don’t think this article is talking about red beets....Sugar beets. I thought I read the other day that the price of sugar has gone way up. Maybe this would contribute to that.

“Ears”? LOL! That’s pretty corny. ;o)

I love that it’s Monsanto, though.

And, down goes Soros! lol
