I'm not saying roundup will kill you, just that a sample of a few means not very much.

Was it surplus from Vietnam contaminated with dioxin? I did totally miss that part. It was not.

You may be on to something there. Of course I am. And don't act so surprised, that's hurtful.

Just to show you the influence that your TV, and lawyer advertising on people, just this morning I read a post by a local woman, about Roundup. According to Her, Roundup will kill you, your children, Honeybees, dogs , cats and most everything else. Her late husband was a farmer, as was His Dad, and Her Her Son currently farms. None of these died from anything Roundup related, although Roundup is used a lot on their farm, which is very large. Her Husband and His Dad died from old age, pure and simple. I have known this family all my life, and I am 76 years old. I was on the cemetery board with Her Husband, and now Her son is on the board in His place. She on the other hand Has never worked except housework, maybe. I think most of that was done by hired help. Anyway what caught my eye, was the part about honeybees. According to her, Roundup will kill honeybees for 5-10 miles in every direction. Funny thing, I spray it around my hives to keep vegetation down close to them, and then I mow the rest. Granted that I spray in late evening, when the bees are in the hive, and that gives time for the chemical to go dormant. Lots of BS going around Roundup, by people that have never used it. miles

Roundup is a trade name.
We have a local farmer while he was still in highschool went to Germany and bought the rights to a weed killer that used glyphosate as it's active ingredient. After he and his dad started producing this weed killer DOW Chemical in effect STOLE it from them and now you know that chemical as Roundup. As I recall, he bought the rights from Bayer sometime in the 1960's.
This local farmer sued Dow and it took over 20 years to settle the lawsuit. In the end he won but it was a pretty shallow victory for him. He went on to produce his version of glyphosate and sold it in Brazil and India and other 3rd world countries for years. He sold out of everything just a couple of years ago as a very wealthy man. He and his dad were just a couple of dumb a$$ed farmers with a plan.
Look up Dennis Albaugh and check it out yourself. Another Ankeny graduate is Mark Westrum. The former owner of Armalite. He retired about 10 years ago and sold the company. It's since gone to $hit in a handbasket.
