Roundup was used in Clark Park for many years, after control of the park was shifted to a private unaccountable entity. Despite the lies ("organic fertilizer"), I reported the "drenching" of Clark Park on the public listserv, for many years. You can also assume it was used at local corporate universities, wherever the sacred dandelion plants have been obliterated. (Read at truthout, address below)

Before Sam died, he had neurological and kidney problems. His Clark Park exposure was massive. There was a complete disregard for appropriate warnings at a formerly public park, and we now know that the claims of immediate chemical breakdown of glyphosate, to harmless chemicals, were false. No happy dog in my family ever broke down from obvious chemical toxicity, like my beloved Sam!
"This herbicide is used in abundance in Sri Lanka. Earlier studies had shown that once glyphosate binds with metals, the glyphosate-metal complex can last for decades in the soil."
"The glyphosate-heavy metal complex can enter the human body in a variety of ways. The complex can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Glyphosate acts like a Trojan horse, allowing the bound heavy metal to avoid detection by the liver, since the glyphosate occupies the binding sites that the liver would normally latch onto. The glyphosate-heavy metal complex reaches the kidney tubules, where the high acidity allows the metal to break free of the glyphosate. The cadmium or arsenic then damages the kidney tubules and other parts of the kidneys, ultimately resulting in kidney failure and, most often, death."
"Glyphosate-resistant seeds are engineered to allow the farmer to drench his fields in the herbicide to kill off all of the weeds."
"Unfortunately, there is evidence to support the latter view. The United States seems to be completely behind Monsanto, regardless of any science questioning the safety of its products. Cables released by WikiLeaks show that US diplomats around the world are pushing GMO crops as a strategic government and commercial imperative. The cables also reveal instructions to punish any foreign countries trying to ban GMO crops."
