I spoke recently to Tony Mitra, a Canadian journalist, about the danger of pesticides. The danger is twofold: pesticides are toxic petrochemicals and governments approve them with scant if any evidence of safety.

I urge you to inform yourself by listening to the interview (below) and, above all, read my book: "Poison Spring." https://www.change.org/p/minister-of-health-canada-justin-trudeau-health-canada-prove-glyphosate-is-safe/u/14583474

The Manifesto was published today, June 8, and already 155 scientists and medical professionals have signed, calling on all governments to ban glyphosate-based herbicides.  The Manifesto states in part: “We, the undersigned international scientists and medical professionals, call on governments at all levels to ban the spraying of glyphosate herbicides.
