Glyphosate scares me. It is dangerous stuff
to the soil life, animals, birds, bees, people etc. It breeds
superweeds. I know that weeds are the scourge of existence for growers,
but I won't use it. Can't be certified organic and use the stuff
either. This is the kind of topic that makes us all
crazy. Almost like politics or religion :) I say let the
consumer decide and more and more often they want organic (or naturally grown)
food. I won't feed it to my kids and I don't want my free range
chickens or ducks getting into it either. And all that being said, my
husband has a spray license, and he is worried about long term effects of
spraying chemicals for his work, so much so that he won't allow our son to work
with him or spray the chemicals. We're older but these kids haven't had
their chance yet. Where I grew up there was both a very high incident of
cancer AND agricultural chemicals. Related? probably. but that
is my opinion, I'm sure there is a study on it but I'm transplanting cabbages
today and don't want to research it online.
