We have had discussions about how safe Roundup is....note below...

NEW STUDIES: MONSANTO'S BEST SELLING "SAFE" PESTICIDE IS HIGHLY TOXIC
Two new peer-reviewed scientific studies have further confirmed the toxicity
of glyphosate, the world's most commonly used herbicide. The June 2005
scientific journal "Environmental Health Perspectives" reports that
glyphosate, sold by Monsanto under the brand name "Roundup," damages human
placental cells at exposure levels ten times less than what the company
claims is safe. A study in the August journal Ecological Applications found
that even when applied at concentrations that are one-third of the maximum
concentrations typically found in waterways, Roundup still killed up to 71
percent of tadpoles in the study. Similar glyphosate studies around the
world have been equally alarming. The American Academy of Family Physicians
epidemiological research has now linked exposure to the herbicide with
increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a life-threatening cancer, while a
Canadian study has linked glyphosate exposure with increased risk for
miscarriage. A 2002 study linked glyphosate exposure with increased
incidence of attention deficit disorder in children. Despite these studies,
Monsanto continues to advertise Roundup, sprayed heavily on 140 million
acres of genetically engineered crops across the world, as one of the
"safest" pesticides on the market. Learn more & take action:
