2,4-D drift and runoff also pose serious risk for environmental harm. Because it is such a potent plant-killer, 2,4-D can harm animals by killing the plants they depend on for habitat and food. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Marine Fisheries Service have found that 2,4-D is likely having adverse impacts on several endangered species...
Just briefly, because I don't want to sidetrack too much, but certainly if it were on market would be much worse, but the plan was to have it go there, so this could happen at any time w/ nasty consequences. These companies get away w/ little accountability for the harm they do.
but it's not on the market now, and would have to go through a fairly lengthy approval process to ever be on the market. the fact of the matter is, terminator technology is not approved for field use. so you have one less thing to worry about.

As I pointed out many many posts ago Agent Orange is composed of a 50:50 mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T.
All you have ranted about throughout this thread is 2,4-D which is NOT Agent Orange so I guess it's your altered reality because in this reality 2,4-D is NOT Agent Orange.
The question concening the erroneous misleading and flatout wrong supporters of monsanto?
Here is yet another slice of REALITY...
Charleston Gazette reporter Kate White was in the courtroom Thursday morning and tells NPR details of the settlement were not released and documents associated with the case are being kept secret.
If you want to discount scientific studies feel free. You guys can buy all the GMO you want. I just want full disclosure of my food so I can personally avoid it. Dioxin is some seriously nasty stuff. Some farmers have found out the hard way about how toxic these pesticides are.
