You all obviously do not have a clue about roundup. It is a systemic and it’s viability as a weed killer is short lived. It is usually non-viable, or loses it’s killing powers, very shortly after it is applied. It is probably the safest of most of the weed killers that producers use.

Round Up is not safe! It is used without thought in organized communites all over the place. It is sprayed in the cracks of cement before any weed appears. It is haphazardly sprayed when windows are wide open. Is this fair, is this right, is this safe? Do you know that the manufacturer derives more than 50% of its annual profits on account of the sale of this one chemicals in various combinations….that should tell you how much is being used and for what? there are safer and cheaper alternatives – every heard of corn gluten as a safe weed killer, vinegar, or actually bending over and pulling out a weed?

This is truly disgusting…so the more the seeds are treated the more Round Up is needed – that’s what I have been told.
Has anyone considered the pesticide infested waters encircling the homes that are several feet under water in the mid west. Once it was raw sewage and an array of odd items floating in the water, now it is tons of pesticides – a witches brew of sorts – deadly, toxic, and who knows how serious the ramifications are? and we will be eating vegetables from fields that are used that were once contaminated with this poisonous pesticide infested waters – what is the sense in that? cancer here you come!
