Kind of like the story of how dupont lobbied to get freon banned...
their patent was expiring and they hoped to corner the market on the substitutes.

You cannot trust any governmental agencies. They seem ALL to have been purchased by our enemies.

Just like we name stadiums we might as well start naming our govt departments.

The Monsanto EPA
The Merck FDA
The Gambino FBI

More specifically, it was Freon 12 that if one remembers was the root cause for the ‘holes’ in the ozone layer. They already had 134A standing by and ready to go.

As a side note, if the stories of ozone ‘holes’ or more realistically thinning were to be checked out, it was always at the poles and always when a particular pole was in its cold season. The main ingredient for generating ozone is, UV rays from the sun. What is in short supply in the cold seasons for each pole?

In this case “collusion” between partners in crime Monsanto, and the Obama EPA means money has been exchanged.

You can have my Round-Up when you pry the pump-sprayer out of my cold, dead hands.

Home Depot has their own brand they sell under the HDX label.

Ortho also has the same chemical/salt marketed under the name “Ground Clear” formerly “Triox”.

Same chemical, higher percentage, lower price. You are not paying for the advertising budget for “Roundup”. Similar to buying Scotts fertilizer.

Roundup is a weed killer. Apparently the notion of using it on food crops is something new. There is a lot of evidence it may be what’s making the wheat crop of this country undigestable and causing the current epidemic of so-called gluten intolerance - which may have nothing to do with gluten. The Roundup, considered safe for human consumption, kills the gut bacteria and interferes with digestion. I had not known it was a probable carcinogen until now.

This is why I eat so much less bread now, I think.

Thanks...I’ll look for that. I’ve got some Bermuda grass I’ve been trying to get rid of. Roundup ain’t getting it.

Have you any scientifically defensible research to support that claim?

Isn’t it Monsanto that’s created Round-Up tolerant wheat...even suing farmers of they use it without Monsanto’s permission (paying for it)?

The good news is that under Trump a lot of these ‘studies’ will be done away with.

I have found the HDX brand too, and like it for the higher percentage active ingredient. Last fall I got it at a clearance price and stocked up.
