Herbicides

Give anybody a controversial topic and the internet, and sparks are sure to fly. In this post we will go through the history of glyphosate studies and the contradictory results that have left two intensely opposed camps in their wake. We will also take a look at some questionable actions on Monsanto’s part that are not helping parent company Bayer through its current legal battles.

About a year ago, I was out in my garden doing battle with weeds when my neighbor casually suggested that I use Roundup so I didn’t have to work as hard. Once I figured out that he wasn’t joking, I was shocked and horrified. Since then I’ve followed the ups and downs of Roundup, Monsanto, Bayer, scientific studies, and court cases.
