Isn't it common sense to avoid using poisons at anytime?

Maybe-but plenty of People drink Alcohol and smoke and use other so called
recreational drugs.

Heck a good amount of our food has poisons in it including Cherries and most
other stone fruits and broccoli and brussiel sprouts, just to name a few.

Since there is no conclusive evidence (after all the testing-even by those
that hate it) that Round Up, when used properly, has any long term negative
effects I find most of the information out there against it to be scare
tactics.

This discussion is a perennial one and has been around for many years.

If one chooses to not use Round Up-good for you-that's a chose you can make.
If you use Round up and follow the directions you are not doing any harm --
except to the plants you are spraying.

Keep in mind that EVERY thing is a Poisson, you name it and I guaranty that
it can do harm.

Some pesticides are truly dangerous and should be outlawed or restricted in
there use but Round Up is not one of them.
