Fact is, anything labelled a "x-cide" is dangerous. Perhaps you think that "organic" alternatives are truly "safer"?

What's your point? Why put words in my mouth? Never said I thought any of the above. Note, I never said either that I thought Roundup was unsafe. Anyways ...No, no, agreed, yes.
It was a simple reply to your assertion that lobbying got it done by commenting that there is no better lobbier out there than Monsanto. Fact of the matter is the ban was put in place based on scientific evidence (I would hope).
I'm just at a loss as to what it was. I've searched and can't find it.
I don't believe it is as simple as you make it out to be where a load of enviro-weenies or whatever they're called outlobbied Monsanto et al.
