THINK ROUNDUP IS NOT TOXIC TO HUMANS? THINK AGAIN.

If you think Roundup is not harmful to human beings, read this article. MIT studies have, like others, concluded that glyphosates, the main toxic ingredient in RoundUp, is dangerous to mammals.

The EPA, nevertheless, with a mandate to protect the public, recently increased the amount of glyphosates that we are allowed to have on our food. Never mind that large food producers wear head-to-toe protective gear when spraying this poison on the plants we are going to ingest. Our grandparents didn't wear protective gear when they went into their gardens to pull weeds.

Monsanto, the company that produces RoundUp (as well as genetically modified seed. And Agent Orange. And a long list of nasty products), makes over billion dollars a year in profits, however, and many top officials at the FDA were once top officials at Monsanto.
