Is Monsanto's Roundup Herbicide Causing Miscarriages in Animals?

The chemical in Roundup is called glyphosate, and Don M. Huber, a plant pathologist who deals with protection against biological warfare, thinks there may be a link between glyphosate in feed and a new self-replicating, micro-fungal, virus-sized organism.

The organism may be causing spontaneous abortions and infertility in livestock. In addition, it may be linked to plant disease.

Basically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is allowing Monsanto to use new technology that we don't know is safe, with livestock, farmers, and consumers playing the role of guinea pigs in this dangerous experiment.

If Roundup Ready alfalfa is planted, we may lose organic options when it comes to beef and dairy. And that's just the tip of the iceberg — there are way too many unknowns when it comes to how Roundup Ready crops may impact people and the planet.
