Another toxic herbicide that you can't wash off because it's part of the plant. Terrific! Another toxic herbicide that you can’t wash off because it’s part of the plant.

First they make roundup, then they modify soybeans to resist roundup, and now so-called weeds have become resistant as well. All in the name of Profit. Not for people, but for profit. Why? Because weeds can easily be controlled by organic no-till farming. ORGANIC NO-TILL FARMING. Google it. This is 100% sustainable and pollution free and lots of US farmers have practiced it for over 20 years. This builds up the soil and makes herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers obsolete. But of course, there's no money in this for evil companies like Monsanto. Now, I will modify that. It is not Monsanto that is evil, they, as the rest of us, are victims of the mindset of the monetary system which NEEDS monetary profit for it's members to survive. The alternative? A resource based economy. Google it as well. This is the true Economy (which means 'proper management of available resources'). This is so unbelievable insane.
