Not to mention half the plants we're killing with roundup, we could be eating. Waste not, want not.

I think that there are very few people growing GMO crops in their home gardens.

So the idea of spraying Roundup on your veggies is not likely.

Among folks I know, only 2 have GMOs in their gardens.

Sad to hear there are ANY GMO private gardens, the whole idea these days is not to have a garden so you have your own food, but to prevent the digestion of GMO foods in grocery stores that can play havoc on your health!

People need to get educated on GMO hazards and for goodness sake, not grow a toxic garden in their own back yard!
Yikes!
