I don’t trust studies because they only make public the ones that prove their point, on either side.

My main concern with glyphosate in foods is that the acceptable levels are determined for humans, not our small dogs who weigh a fraction of what a human weighs. So maybe safe for us, not so much for them.

All dog owners also have to be careful walking their dogs being sure to keep them off of areas treated with Roundup.

I was just trying to use it as a mild comparison. One day things are fine for you the next they aren’t. I get though about the levels for dogs being very little compared to humans (Especially me). I don’t know that there is any way to know what people treat their lawns with back before I had pets my grandfather used to use a place that put a sign saying the yard was treated. What should be just as disturbing is when it rains it washes all of those chemicals into our water ways. I understand all the lawsuits and stuff but if the EPA and FDA say it doesn’t cause cancer especially when used as directed so not sure there is anything that can be done. Sadly most of these awful chemicals that are bad for us are banned in other countries but we are way behind here in those things.
