OT re Roundup was Cardamine hirsuta

Dear Ina, I agree with you. Comercial growers get exemptions to use some
really nasty stuff. If you go online I think there is a site that rates just
how toxic a chemical is. Lets face it if you drink 5 gallons of water I
don't think you would survive. We live in a world saturated with too many man
made chemicals, antibiotics and weed/bug killers. It all started after WW1
when doctors wanted to save lives, then in the 1930s with farmers wanting
to grow more food. I doubt if there are many places that are chemical free
anywhere on earth. Have you ever seen the profit reports for drug/chemical
companies. If people would moderate the use of many of these chemicals it
would help. But we do not live in a perfect world.

Alberto, do you have any idea of all the poisons which are sprayed on
the commercially grownveges here? I don't know what it is like
elsewhere, nor could I tell you,but have read enough articles to decide
me I would rather eat my own home grown than even the supposedly organic
ones, which have a mix of poisons sprayed on them which individually are
safe, but altogether make another poisonous brew.

Anyonewhocan tell me what is sprayed on commercially grown fruit and veges?

Or what will kill Kikuyu grass? As neither vinegar nor boiling water
affects it unduly.
