One word covers all your reasons.... TAXif the proper protection equipment is worn as the label suggest and the conditions of use is followed i'd be extremely surprised if there is even 1 death caused solely by glyphosate. There are alot more deaths caused by alcohol with only a few brands providing "drink in moderation or responsibly" on there labels. Cigarettes still avaliable! - and they go after glyphosate? C'mon some one is taking the pee.
Ant...
I think all chemicals that are covered by a registration process should be banned from public sale, if its deemed necessary to regulate chemicals for professional use and have statutory rates, timings etc etc it is a total nonsense to allow the public to use them with no training at all, a couple of wks ago I saw an old lady spraying some weeds on her verge, no gloves no mask no overalls, if she gets an illness that is associated with whatever chemical she was using we all know it will be the farming industry that gets blamed not her own stupiditySeems France is banning sale of roundup to the public, thoughts on this?
Will it lead to a wider ban?
Not good news imo
What we need to do is a survey of spray operators who do stuff on farms and for the councils/parks etc. and get an idea of their exposure and see if there is a pattern of harm.
We hardly use it at all. Would be a shame to lose it though. What is its replacement?
Is that the country that had a problem with bottled water?Seems France is banning sale of roundup to the public, thoughts on this?

Cultivate stubbles twice , leave a couple of weeks, cultivate again, leave a couple of weeks, cultivate again etc etcI can confirm that life before Roundup was shite.
