In reply to the discussion: Monsanto and the Poisoning of Europe [View all]FighttheFuture
(1,313 posts)47. Pretty stupid of you. Here's Bill Nye pointing out how the Monarch butterfies were decimated
by the use of Glyphopsate.
On the accidental decimation of monarch butterflies from the use of glyphosate
Nye: People developed this herbicide called glyphosate that kills all the weeds, and kills all of everything except the plants that have this cool gene in them that allows them to grow right through it. We also killed the milkweed, and the milkweed is what the monarch butterflies rely on. So we accidentally have decimated the monarch butterfly population, reduced it over the last two decades by 90 percent We dont want that where you are accidentally wiping out a potential pollinator species.
So when you look at a more integrated picture and see the surrounding damage roundup causes, the links to disruption in human gut bacteria balance which can lead to a host of issues, then is it really all that safe? Regardless of the current Cancer links? NO!
But hey, feel free to run your life by little facebook quips, or perhaps you may want to try to understand the world as a more integrated whole and we are all a part of it.

Doubling down with Shiva and Mercola doesn't make the lies about India's suicides go away.

Anyone who uses the right wing quack Mercola as a source obviously doesn't have a "fucking clue" one

Sure, that's why you have to parrot out a right wing quack and AIDS denialist for your proof
