No, I'm not thinking about the stats between the MB record against Lucid.

I'm talking about the record using Imperial units, Instead of metric, for a news item from Europe! From the colonists!

Take a look under the bonnet, will you. I am 100 certain that the imminent dupe will resist any attempt at correcting the oversight. Sleepy eds, what else would you call it

You are simply wrong. Glyphosate does not "get in your food". It must be embarassing to post like that. I know I find it exhausting to interact with you "it's ChEMIcAlS!!!!!" people who have no education or intellectual curiosity to learn facts because you're mire interested in hysteria.

What a reidiculous assertion. Those are not the people being harmed in mass by glyphosate and other pesticides/herbicides. It's farm workers and landscapers. As all of these, including glyphosate, have specific label instructions to not touch the wet product (and in pesticides the label is the law: they are approved by the EPA and have the force of regulation). That makes this is a workplace safety issue, not a product issue. Stop buying into the hysteria being manufactured by ambulance/hearse chasing lawyers.

I would assume they're referring to the way all of the anti-glyphosate research and reporting likes to bury the simple fact that it's not dangerous unless you're getting the wet product on yourself, and doing so is explicity agains the lable instructions. In pesticieds, the labels are approved by the EPA and are considered the law on its usage.

Yes, lots of people got sick using glyphosate. That's going to happen with any pesticide or herbicide when you spend 10 hours a day on an open station tractor spraying it and getting covered in it with no PPE. This is more a workplace safety/OSHA issue than a product issue.
