33. Again the logic here . All those other countries are starving ? They are not eating ? It's the glyphosate

Sat Aug 15, 2015, 11:26 PM

Aug 2015

One recent study published in the Journal of Environmental & Analytical Toxicology has now proven that animals and humans who consume GMO foods – those that are loaded with glyphosate chemicals, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s RoundUp – have extremely high levels of glyphosate in their urine.
And I will eat mostly what I eat now . Non soaked in glyphosate food like people in the countries (where you think they can not eat at all ) consume today. Market drives change
But it is very time consuming here to research where other countries have the luxury of looking at the label just like USA consumers can do for sodium at the present. Even countries like Russia and China have that advantage ,
No more answers to people who think other countries can't eat if they are made aware of glyphosate in foods and label or ban
