Weedkiller in the food chain? No thanks! by LoopZilla

Hormone based weedkiller has entered the food chain via farmyard manure in the UK.

RHS advice state that aminopyralid has passed into horse manure, and it affecting crops suchs as tomatoes, potatoes and beans

Here is a quote from The Guardian "Gardeners across Britain are reaping a bitter harvest of rotten potatoes, withered salads and deformed tomatoes after an industrial herbicide tainted their soil. Caroline Davies reports on how the food chain became contaminated and talks to the angry allotment owners whose plots have been destroyed"

Tomatoes can been seen to curl in a distinctive way... This is another example of the artificial control of food production.

Was a "simple" hormone OK? No. Is genetic modification of crops OK? No!

And who gave a licence this product to be used in UK?
