Some time ago I wrote in a post that as a guest on Tomatovile I would never interfere in threads that always become heated, which is the case with roundup. Unfortunately when I see that Bower, a highly respected lady on the site, has to bear unfair attacks I feel obliged to react but just by giving the European position.
Is roundup a noxious substance ? the point is no longer discussed, governments now try to find how long it can be used before being entirely banned. 4 years is the most severe length of time, 10 years more likely. Now roundup can only be sold to professional growers in France.
A reminder : we all have molecules of roundup or its metabolites in our bodies, it doesn’t prove they are harmful, but it’s disquieting. I won’t go further in that field, just say that I’m struck by the lack of information of US population. I won’t post again here though I intend to follow the discussions on that thread.
