      Is Roundup sprayed food safe? We had better hope so as it seems everything gets dessicated with!
      Are GMO foods safe? Where are the long term studies? Monsanto says you bet they are safe.......the same Monsanto that 150 years ago were one of the biggest slave traders in the USA (not planters....low life dealers in slavery)!
      What are you eating? Is it safe because your corporate owned government says it is? Roll the dice with your childrens health.

        No contest, if I have the choice between
        dessicated or swathed, I will take swathed
        organic everytime for me and my family and
        friends. Even for Willy!

          Yeah I remember those LD50's from my university course and probably other places as well. One of the reasons why I switched from the ordinary, most readily available table salt to himalayan salt several years ago. I'm assuming that who ever did the LD50 of table salt how many years ago probably used the conventional table salt since that has been the most wide spread, commonly found salt for my lifetime anyways.

          Perhaps there should be warning labels on those salt shakers then.

            It's fascinating, for the big farms around here, it's
            one more time with the sprayer, then we can
            combine!
            Same bunch of farmers describe that roundup is
            just a salt mixture and that you can drink it. I have
            yet to see one of these clever felllows drink
            glyphosate. Yet, it's not dangerous. That's really
            unusual. I think I am going to carry a litre in my
            truck so they can prove to the public it can be
            drank. Then I would be convinced and definitely
            go back to spraying glyphosate.

              hobby farmer, i once heard a story about
              when monstanto used to hold meetings at
              the time round up first came out stating
              how safe it was, a man could drink a
              gallon and not have any problems. A
              farmer walked up to the podium poured
              two glasses of roundup and told the rep
              that he would drink it if, the other guy
              did first. Needless to say he wouldnt
              drink it.

              I dont think this 'study' is going to
              faze any of the current organic
              consumers as they are self educated
              about the harmful chemicals found in/on
              food these days. I will agree that
              conventional products are just a nutritious as a organic product but I
              would like a nutritional study done on
              the herb/pest/fung -icides that conventional food products are dosed
              in?!

              Too me its another study funded and
              produced by 'corporate food' and shared
              by 'corporate media' across North
              America. We've seen it before, and we'll
              see it again. Feed your family what YOU
              feel is healthy/safe not what someone
              else tells you to!

                Pour farmer, agreed well said.
                One of the rules of business is, "the customer is
                always right".
                Unless you are a farmer who thinks the customer
                is stupid, and should eat what's put in front of
                them because their customer doesn't know
                anything about some of the "good" chemicals
                they use on the crops. Then, that rule does not
                apply.
                S
                I have Homer Simpsons voice in my
                head..."stupid customers, with their stupid
                disposable income. Think they are so smart with
                all their spending habits and stuff!

                  "corporate study" done by " corporate food". I love
                  how organic proponents never seem to
                  acknowledge the fact that the organic industry
                  also has a lot of large "corporate " entities that will
                  defend their profit as much as non organic
                  corporations do. I don't believe many organic
                  consumers will change there view on this because
                  there view was never based off of facts in the first
                  Place,it's just fear they are going off of. And
                  whenever you show studies that undermine there
                  claims they just say its all part of a large
                  conspiracy by "big food"So its pretty much
                  impossible to change anyones mind over this.

                    I am not trying to change anyone's minds here. I
                    am growing and selling to people who know what
                    they want.
                    Some farmers do not want want to follow the
                    WalMart business model, so they grow and sell
                    their production to a different target market. I do
                    not want to compete with the last 9 farmers in 2
                    municipalities. They are far more clever, efficient,
                    low cost producers than I ever will be! I am cool
                    with that.

                        Runoff, I agree with your statement, there are big
                        corporate organic companies protecting their
                        profit. The end users have to make profit so they
                        can be successful to buy my organic production
                        next year.
                        In a perfect world, I should be processing and
                        direct marketing my own production. So far, I am
                        too busy and lazy to make this happen. I have
                        been organizing thoughts to get there.
