Amarkov posted:Glyphosate (Roundup) is one of the safest herbicides available. It's relatively nontoxic, breaks down quickly, and does not bioaccumulate. Studies have consistently shown that its use poses no health risks to consumers, minimal environmental risks, and even seems to be less dangerous for farmers to apply. Except Roundup is not 100% glyphosate, but rather a mix of 40% glyphosate and other agents, including surfactants which are highly toxic. EDIT : what I'm saying is just let's not start painting herbicides as "safe" for the environment or animals. Pretty much all herbicides are toxic, and Roundup is no exception.

I was mostly taking issue with the "less dangerous for farmers to apply" bit.
