There have been increasing indications that the stuff is simply not good for our bodies, warns columnist Jeff Lowenfels.
This is the last column of the year, and I usually try to write about something to do with gardening and the environment. Usually, it reads like a lecture, for which I am sorry. Often it becomes political. We are adults. After all these years, we should be able to have a civil discussion.
As you can imagine, using glyphosate at harvest time results in high residues of the stuff on the crops. As a result, it is persistent in our food. Heck, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this chemical is in more than 80% of children and adults in this country. By the way, glyphosate is not registered to be used as a desiccant, but is apparently cheaper than what has been registered and farmers get away with it.
I am thankful that this year I don’t have to warn my readers not to use glyphosate because you are all organic, right? You may not be able to control how much of this stuff other people put into your body, but you darn sure can control yourself. I think it is shameful that it is still on the market for home use. We don’t want to be part of a big experiment being conducted by a profit-making corporation.
