Wow. I thought I would post this as my effort rather than joining the march today.

However, after reading your post "sumsmartguy" and doing a little reflecting on people I know who have left this plane a little early, we are HEADIN TO RED DEER.

Anyone else want to join us, the march starts at about 2:00 p.m. at the Red Deer City Hall.

There is information on the web for any of you who live close to one of the close to 500 cities in numerous countries around the world where we hope to make this the most recognisable world wide day of awareness ever.

All the best to every one of you and your families.

I am not a fan of chemicals in farming , but they are a necessary evil to feed the world at a price they can afford. There should also be a march against sugar. It is a known killer of millions of people.

We have the choice to eat sugar or not. Good
point.

I have nothing but questions for this
rkaiser poster.

If your your so worried about safety why
are you driving to Red deer? Don't you
know motor vehicle accidents are a
proven leading cause of death? Shouldn't
you be protesting that instead of a
company who's products provide
sustenance for hundreds of millions of
people? Or are you a sadist, who would
enjoy seeing poor people starve?

Agriscience allows us to provide food
for everyone on this planet, and these
protesters are against it? Am I missing
something? Me not get.

i for one am getting sick of anti monsanto crap
there is no glypho sprayed on wheat used for
planting so where does it get connected to
fusarium plenty of times a field does not get its
pre seed burnoff cause there is no weeds there
is no connection we test every bin now so tell us
again how were not educated the red deer show
should be a freak show so if someone wanted
organic wheat they should have bought it before
it sold for chicken feed

I feel it is imcumbent upon Health Canada to be
testing for chemical residues and the correlation
between days to harvest after application. In light
of the fact that we dont hear about any statistics
regarding late fall desiccation and many farmers
are adopting this practice, I tend to suspect that
there is a possibility our wheat, lentils, canola
and whatever else needs a shot of chemical just
before harvest could be unsafe for consumption.
I could be wrong but please prove me wrong
before its too late. If I have to choice to eat a hot
slice of organic bread or a conventional loaf, I
will take the organic one with butter and a slab of
organic spanish onion grown in our garden. You
too?

[ColevilleH2S]

I have no such concerns sumdumguy.
Maximum residue limits are backed by
replicated science and strictly enforced
by importing countries.

Anecdotal evidence means squat.

Summum, I would suggest you request the
same of your precious organics, you just
may be surprised what you find. If
roundup were toxic at sub clinical
levels most of us would be dead by now
from long term concentrated exposure,
I've likely consumed a couple once today
alone.

we were using glyphosate and min tilling long
before our juniors in maniroba and fusarium
was there long before here.
