Glyphosate - related to bee decline

That's really funny...because if you have not realized that there has been deleterious effects reported you are also ignorant that the sites that you actually do listen to or regard as "reliable" are so biased you are the ideal gullible goof who believes their spiels...LMAO...!

I notice a distinct lack of even one of your examples of "deleterous effect" Finding trace amounts does not amount to a bad effect.

In my local area the guys who pump out septic tanks often just spray it on one of their out of the way fields. It smells worse than pig manure, but it does fertilize well. I don't like to think of the chemical household garbage that's in there though.

Last time I had my tank pumped the coast had jumped about 3X. I asked why. "we can't dump in fields any more and had to build own treatment plant."

That was the retail price, check out the wholesale price, it was a minimal change

I can save over a dollar a dozen, sometimes two, by buying at Wal Mart or Winco.

But, but...but...They were sure it was that terrible Glyphsophate. They saw it on the internet!

The two compounds are similar in chemical structure...the related and often reported maladies (cancers) are similar also...
I would not call the over 8000 (roundup) lawsuits against Monsanto a reflection of minor "trace amounts" The AO injuries are factual as well...duh!

runoff - carried in the water after rain, finds its way into our water

I would worry more about all the run off cattle, chicken farms, hog farms, septic drain fields, etc, getting into my well water than roundup

animal waste is biodegradable and is easily tested for...chemical compounds are not...

I'm the one who brout Agent Orange into the discussion, so if you want to learn how it got here you will have to read the thread, not just take things out of context.
We've done good though; usually it only take two days before a discussion devolves into everybody stateing their viewpoints without even considering what others are saying. This one lasted 6 days.

if it lays there long enough to do so. Rain will get to it way before it degrades.
Round up most likely degrades at some point. If it didn't, I wouldn't keep having to spray my fence lines

All that Roundup treats is the foliage; it does nothing to the roots and/or the seeds.
