People think they're just being lazy and spraying harmful chemicals for the hell of it but that's not exactly the case. Things people like to eat, everything else likes to eat too. It's hard to grow food because of that.

America is being poisoned by the over-use of these pesticides.

I keep reading stories of Americans who have developed allergies to grains and then they go live abroad and their skin allergies clear up completely. I often wonder if that's due to the glyphosate.

There should be a $1 home test for glyphosate ppm, that'd be so helpful to bringing this problem to light

No surprise it's all grains: farmers use roundup to dry grains, not to kill weeds.

Note that this is from 2016. That site's latest story on glyphosate shows Bayer pulling it from stores in July... but only for home use. Something's happening, but it's slow.
