Re: Roundup information

Like I said we only eat veggis from Certified organic farms and roundup
is something we have choosen not to eat.  That is something you have to
come to grips with.  Roundup is very very very bad.  It is not legally
called safe and is not environmentally friendly.  You sound like you
arwe very addicted to the stuff.

Send me the data.  Does FOOD and WATER or CLEAN WATER ACTION, 
BIO_DYNAMIC FARMERS and or ORGANIC FARMERS support your thoughts? 
Please provide data the roundup is beneficial for the "Living Components
of the SOIL"
