Monsanto's Toxic roundup

I recently read a fellow gardener's blog claiming that Roundup® by Monsanto is safe and natural, and all the talk otherwise is purely hype.
Well, I won't mention names of fellow blogger's here because I don't believe in pointing fingers; I want to provide facts to back up why I didn't agree with this person's claim.
I did a little digging, pardon the pun, and came up with a whole lot of reasons NOT to purchase products like this, not only from this manufacturer, but any corporate entity claiming that their poison is safe, (when indeed, this is NOT the case....)
The following links are in reference to products produced, and at one time, deemed to be safe and harmless to people and the environment, when in all actuality, they are not.
Read the information from these links, and you can be the judge.

No demand = no supply . If more people would catch on and stop using this toxic stuff; they would stop selling it.
