    tman, the LD50 of table salt is lower
    (more deadly) than that of roundup.

      Wd9, many people say that. I would like to meet
      you someday and watch you drink it.

          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.
