Galaxie64 - 9/3/2011 15:06 The obvious anti Monsanto bias is very evident in this paragraph: "Monsanto Co. introduced glyphosate to the world in 1974 branded as Roundup, and has made billions of dollars over the years from Roundup herbicides as well as from the "Roundup Ready" corn, soybeans and cotton the company has genetically engineered to survive dousings of glyphosate. " Probably more but I just skimmed the article for the numbers of dilution which they apparently never gave so this is a non story as it sits. No one tell Reuters there is fecal coliform in every water source, they would really have a story then. -- I noticed this too. "Dousing" makes it sound like farmers/applicators are using a fire hose to apply glyphosate. Certainly intended for sensationalism. You are correct also that no hard numbers were given. |
