Revealed: The foods we are eating that contain weed-killer
Australians are eating the RoundUp chemical ‘glyphosate’ for breakfast and parents are unknowingly feeding it to infants in baby food.
The so-called ‘safe’ weed killer ingredient, which has been linked to cancer and sparked multi-million-dollar law suits, has been detected in grain-based foods by Australia’s food standards agency.
Glyphosate was found in multi-grain, wholemeal, spelt, rye and white breads, savoury biscuits and crackers, and rice-based breakfast cereals, flours and crackers in Food Standards Australia New Zealand’s (FSANZ) latest Total Diet Survey.
It was also found in infant baby cereal, which is a rice-based product usually offered as a first solid to babies learning to eat.
Cereals and cereal products – in particular bread – was the “major contributing food category to glyphosate dietary exposures” for Australians, and for babies it was infant cereal.
However the food standards agency said glyphosate levels were well below accepted dietary limits and concluded there was “no public health and safety concerns for most substances”.
But the agency has come under fire for its unchanged position on safe levels of glyphosate amid mounting calls for Australian regulators to review the chemical’s use and potential carcinogenic effects on people.
Glyphosate, the active chemical in the weed killer RoundUp, is the most widely used herbicide in the world, with more than 6 billion kilograms applied over the last decade.
In a recent landmark case, a US couple was awarded $2 billion damages when a California jury found their cancer was caused by exposure to RoundUp.
About 13,400 US plaintiffs are suing the company Bayer, which bought RoundUp maker Monsanto, while a Melbourne gardener has launched Australia’s first legal case and councils are re-assessing their use.
Human exposure to glyphosate is not limited to RoundUp, the popular brand of backyard and commercial weed killer that consumers have been repeatedly told is safe by the company and government regulators.
The chemical is also an active ingredient in more than 500 products approved for use in Australia, many of which can be found on supermarket and hardware store shelves and used by backyard gardeners.
Of the weed killers on the shelves in Bunnings, for example, all but a couple of products from two brands – Brunnings and Richgro – listed glyphosate as an active ingredient.
Public health academic Dr Bruce Armstrong, from the University of Sydney, said it was time for regulators to “get real” about glyphosate instead of “point-blank denying the evidence”.
“I think the most important thing is for the regulator APVMA to stop saying there’s no evidence that it causes cancer and get real and examine it so the public has confidence,” Dr Armstrong said.
“The first place we need to start is to work out why the regulator is making a decision that seems to go against the evidence produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer which is the pre-eminent cancer research agency.
“They need to take expert international opinion seriously and carefully re-evaluate and do it in an open and transparent manner.”

Human Rights Video #13: Freedom To Move
One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.
No Vacancy
We lived through this in our family. Dessert Stomach it was called. My dinner stomach is full but there is pleny of room in my dessert stomach.
Carrie Fisher Quote
The technique of it is this:
First you decide the product you wish to obtain.
Then you do. (Perform actions towards attaining that product.)
As a result of repeated and improved doing (or drilling if you are practicing to do) you acquire competence.
As a result of your competence, you become confident.
Most fear to do because they lack confidence.
But as the above sequence illustrates, that is wrong way to.
So a motto to apply in any area of life you wish to conquer is simply:
Decide the product,
Start to do,
Refine and do,
Accept coaching and do,
Continue to improve your do,
Until you are a Competent, Confident you!
The problem is we are not oriented to the amount of time it takes to drill and perfect our doingnesses to the point of extreme competence. So most give up well before they atain extreme competence. We look at someone really skilled at an action but do not see the enormous investment of time it took to gain that proficiency.
I read an article once that reported on a survey of all sorts of activities: sports, instrument playing etc. that found it took 10,000 hours to become world class at something.
This is one reason I encourage people to find their basic purpose in life and spend more and more time on that. It is a lot easier to persist through plateaus and difficulties let alone overcome serious obstacles if you are working on your basic purpose.
Texas Legislative Proposal
Robert Mote posts:
Democrats are fucking lunatics.
This is mindblowing. Read it if you want your blood to boil:
“In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state’s “castle doctrine.” This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.
Now listen to what she has to say…
“I’m not saying that stealing is okay,” Meza explained. “All I’m saying is that it doesn’t warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed.”
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill “would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Under the new law the homeowner’s obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner.”
“In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does,” Meza reasoned. “The homeowner’s insurance will reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better.”
(Tom: If you live in Texas you may wish to call your representative about voting against this lunacy.)
Friends Don’t Leve Friends Behind
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer,
he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”
“This is Heaven, sir.” the man answered.
“Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked.
“Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.” The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
“Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog, “come in, too?” the traveller asked.
“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.”
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
“Excuse me!” he called to the man. “Do you have any water?”
“Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.”
“How about my friend here?” the traveller gestured to the dog.
There should be a bowl by the pump.”
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
“What do you call this place?” the traveller asked.
“This is Heaven,” he answered.
“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveller said, “the man down the road said that was Heaven, too.”
“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s hell.”
“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”
“No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.”

Vaccine Fun On LinkedIn
Oh there’s some fun going down on LinkedIn I wanted to share with you.
The image was what I saw. This was my tuppence ha’penny worth.
Are we talking about the same Pfizer that is indemnified for any harm the vaccine causes? Please explain to me how they have a lot to lose?
The same Pfizer, the ‘Covid’ vaccine-maker Pfizer who have been fined $4,747,652,947 for various violations since 2000. Yep, just who you would trust with your life and your children’s lives.
The same family of virii (Coronavirus) for which a previous vaccine was abandoned as the animals on which it was tested developed hyper-responses to other subsequent infections due to a vaccine generated overly activated immune system?
And is this the same vaccine that has been rushed through the testing process with animal safety test regarded as not necessary due to the urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic?
The same COVID-19 pandemic which it now turns out has a similar survival rate the the normal seasonal flu?
Please explain to me how Preston is being irresponsible?
Vaccines Must Be Voluntary
