glyphosate

Why would I want to grow a garden and pour poison on it? Might as well buy from the grocery store-NOT

I know, I was hoping to find them but they've mostly been waaaay out in the woods!

People are seriously under-enraged about the chemicals in our food. Amazes me.

And now they've combined with Bayer... Which is even more motivation to feed us garbage, make us sick, and then make money feeding us medicine to treat the illnesses they gave us...

@sumi are GMO's legal in Ireland?

Even more reason to grow our own food on our own land, where we can to some extend control what goes into it.

So true! The answer is self reliance and the place is our own back yard!



Shameless plug.

Farmers have been using the stuff so long they have grown dependent on it. Its also increased yeild alot. Corn for example gmo yields around twice as many bushels an acre.

It may yield more per bushel, but I'm betting that, considering how glyphosate works by locking nutrients away from the plant, those bushels may have less nutrients overall when farmers use Round Up. Which means we are filling our bellies, but remaining hungry.

Trying... trying real hard even.

Are the morons finally getting a glimmer?

You mean a chemical that kills living things will kill humans? I am so shocked!
I mean really is it that hard to understand?
Monsanto is definitely behind the bee deaths. They kill everything.

I am very fortunate that I live in a part of the country where these sorts of things are less common. But it is still an issue. I HATE Monsanto

DH confirmed our power company doesn't spray. They're a co-operative, members would be mad.

There really is no end to how disturbing it is, you're right Bay.
