When you think about it ... a chemical substance that kills something stone dead (in this case plant life) ... applied liberally to crops around the world.

Now, did anyone stop and ponder if such a thing might be dangerous?

I wonder? Huh

Just because it kills plant life doesn't mean that it is dangerous to humans.
I would be more worried about your insect spray.
Oh and everything in the universe is a chemical.

Insect spray aint insect spray Sol.

All sorts of insect spray ... household aerosols are mainly synthetic pyrethrins.
Most of the nasty ones have been banned.

Even your Pest Control man is limited in the chemicals used to mainly pyrethrins.

I have sprayed hundreds of litres of the stuff.
Wonderful chemical

Everything else is 5 x the price and works half as well.
And grazon and hot shot and brush off remain in pasture for 2 months before stock are clear to be sold. There is no exclusion for glyco. Water soluble and doesn't accumulate in beef.
And tests show frogs and tadpoles happily live in tanks with high concentrations.

Seriously, if you want to ban it, you will be paying a lot more for your food, Dow and Bayer won't mind because they will shift a lot more expensive herbicides and you will be getting much more chemicals in your food as the others linger.

Only brain dead numpties like the ABC would run this crap.
And some farmers wife got lymphoma,
I bet I could go to any hospital in Australia and find 100 people with lymphoma that have never been near a farm
That proves absolutely nothing except that journo doesn't understand statistics
