[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 6095946, member: 1232"] The big problem is they basically didn't label it saying "could cause cancer" and lobbied against it. That is the crux of it. It doesn't mean it will cause cancer etc. I think the average persons chance of getting NHL is about 1% and the average roundup user may be 1.2% and maybe a ultra heavy roundup user with no ppe, spraying all day every day could be 2% - but when using hazardous material you need to know to expect potential risks. A farmer working outside in the sun all day probably has a 10% higher chance of skin cancer than a person sitting in an office all day who probably has a 20% higher chance of heart disease etc. I totally agree we need perspective. Roundups problem is its popularity, its a shame when there are so many worse chemicals out there. [/QUOTE]
