There is a video somewhere on the interwebs of a Roundup rep telling a room full of farmers that (paraphrasing here) "Roundup is so safe you could drink it." Some smartass brought a drinking glass up to the podium. The rep refused to drink any.

And yet there are people who swear you can spray it on the roots of plants to keep them from coming back. Someone here on this board "corrected" me about that.

After witnessing the farmer across the road, I'm not sure that is true.
