It is obvious to me that none of the contributors have any idea of the science of toxicology. How do you feel about the toxins in coffee, or mabe table salt or peppers or many other foods? All these are far more toxic than Roundup.
Please only express views for which you hjave some understanding and not ‘beliefs’ based on shher ignorance.
Do you really think that this product would have the approvals it has were it to be as ‘dangerous’ as you all seem to think? Stop being so ridiculous and get an education first and then express your views afterwards.

I, too, am upset that Monsanto ads are aired on PBS and NPR. I didn’t know Audubon magazine published their ads. It’s probably safe to say that PBS will never air a documentary which casts Monsanto in a negative light.

The second line is telling: “conversing” vs. “conserving” – is it all talk/greenwashing?

It’s good to read press about the hypocrisy of Monsanto greenwashing themselves as a sustainably-minded company. It disappoints me to hear ads for Monsanto on NPR and in Audubon magazine, and their “producing more, conserving more…that’s sustainable agriculture” verbage scares me, because I know too many Americans will believe and tout that.

Its used in the parks and schools because it it cheaper than getting rid of the weeds by hand. Lets see Monsanto come up with “their” safety data on Roundup to dispute the negatives in the article. Mr. Combest didn’t say anything of value.
