    Grain Millers Memo

    This could become a can of worms.
    I read the western producer article describing that it is an issue of milling quality and not food safety.
    But...then.... the author had to make reference to the WHO announcement that glyphosate may be a possible carcinogen. That kind of overshadows the facts of the article.
    Looking at the WP comments , there was some people thankful for the decision.
    I have seen a few organic blogs and that western producer article is getting flogged. reading the comments part of these blogs, there sure are some happy freaks with the decision.
    I think Grain Millers will lose some farmer suppliers but they will come out of this in a good light with their end user customers. The general public wont care about the facts of the decision , but they will remember that Grain Millers said no to pre harvest glyphosate.
    Its better to be first, than it is to be better.

    I think Dr. Patrick Moore has refined his presentation from late March and is for hire.

          Perhaps the local millers can purchase the high fuzz now. Sprayed without glyphosate should make it the top product.

              Not to get too technical hobby, but the IARC in France says it is.

                It sure would put a lot of speculations to rest if an advocate were to to drink it. It could be publicized, sell advertising, they could make a lot of money with the drinking of the glyphosate game!
                All in the name of safety. Technically speaking, of course.
                Really, why not. Suppliers and retailers have said this for years, Dr. Patrick Moore says it. So why not just drink some and get it over with.

                  Its the surfactants that are the problem.

                    You could do what planet organic would do, drink orange juice and say its roundup. Cause science doesn't matter.
