PSA Roundup found in oat products

Yet Trump believes in deregulation of pesticide and herbacide use. Monsanto says it should be fine. They would never lie, right? Wake up people. And this isn't an anti-Trump post because the same deregulation would've been pushed for if Clinton was president. The media just wouldn't have reported it.

"The jury found that Monsanto knew for decades of the product’s hazards and not only failed to warn customers, but schemed to publicly discredit the evidence"


Corporate Fukks™

The amount of glyphosate found in these products had to be infinitesimal. Any more than that and the product would die. It's a non-discriminate plant killer.

It's active ingredient is concentrated sodium. Salt water intrusion after a hurricane will wipe out all the plant life it settles in. I've seen it first hand.

Nothing nefarious here. Media and California courts making something out of nothing.

You can make your own weed killer with salt and vinegar. 

Eat heartily boys...

In case y'all missed the point, genetically modified seeds are preferred by farmers because they increase the crop yields.  Why?... Because they are more resistant to... WEED KILLER PESTICIDES.

That's one hell of a list...............thanks for sharing  GG  

The product is used to kill the crop just before harvest, it dries it out quicker enabling the farmer to harvest earlier. The article references the sample finding, using a benchmark of 160ppb as being acceptable for children. Several of the products listed had elevated levels some didnt.

Monsanto is a safety net against starvation.

If all of you people farm your own gardens, butcher your own meat, grow your own grains, and know how to cook and store them properly for a year, then keep talking. I'll listen. 

The info, i got from the article referenced in post #1, the article i got from the internet. 

Look everyone is goimg to continue to eat that stuff,  the article was geared more to the dangers of feeding steady doses to children. Pesticides are what they are, they are everywhere. I was a little suprised to read about how the pesticides were being used, to quicken the drying procedure and shorten harvest. I dont eat a lot of boxed/packaged foods. Dont have kids either, just thought it was an interesting article.

 

Thanks Ken.  It's not only good to be back... it's great.
I really enjoy Covers and especially the GD Forum family because it's a nice break from the daily grind of the every day different season's Forums.

To answer your question, glyphosate contaminated products are everywhere.  You are not going to avoid them unless, like Getty stated above, you want to "farm your own gardens, butcher your own meat, grow your own grains, and know how to cook and store them properly".

You can also buy genuine organic products but those producers are typically small-time and a terribly expensive alternative.  If you can afford that... SALUTE!

What is disturbing is we don't really know exactly how much glyphosate in the human system is toxic.  WE DON'T KNOW.  But, however, the proverbial Genie is out of the bottle.  For instance when you have billions of bees collecting from contaminated plants, how is that supposed to be controlled?

My problem is with these Corporate Fukks™ and their deliberately deceptive and misleading advertising claims that you are buying "Natural" or "All-Natural" foods.  You are not.
