This has been discussed nearly to death, and the facts seem to be that the facts aren't all in yet. Industry testing has repeatedly shown that glyphosate is "safe". I'm not aware of any long term industry sponsored testing that says "Roundup" (that mixture of glyphosate, surfactants, adjudavents, etc) is. It may be another 20 years before the matter is settled beyond any doubt, one way or another.
Either way, I DO know that NOT using Roundup, or 2-4-5t, or Dicamba, or whatever else thats' sole purpose is to kill a pest, or weed, or fungus, won't cause cancer; won't be in my soil or showing up in my water, and NOT using such chemicals certainly seems to address a growing market demand for the things we raise, whether "justified by current (industry based) science" or not. Gotta remember that Big Tobacco lied to us for decades about the "health benefits" of smoking (based on their own "very knowledgeable" research), in large part because they had hundreds of billions riding on the outcome. IIRC, Tobacco "settled", when the Surgeon General filed suit, but to this day still do not admit that tobacco use is harmful. Big Ag, with many times more money at stake, would never stoop that low. Or would they? Maybe they're dealing with "alternate facts".
