They use that like crazy around here.  They use it for more than just killing weeds.  Towards harvest time they spray roundup to dessicate the crops so it all is ready to combine at once.

I have always wondered how safe it is.

So a single international agency, whose existence is based on remaining relevant, publishes a report at odds with a dozen other reports including others within the same agency, and the media article you clowns cherry pick from, neglect to point out that whatever the risk is  (and they define the risk by the very scientific sounding term  'probably carcinogenic') are to workers not home users. There are 4 levels of cancer causing materials with 1 being none or undetermined. #2 is the probably catagory. In fact they found 'limited evidence' that glyphosate causes cancer from studies dating back to 2001.

You guys remember Love Canal, alair Apple scare, population bomb etc....all proven false, but hey, made some people famous by spreading nonsense.
