*Human Roundup trials to start November 1st 1996*

It is easy to take part, all you need to do is consume non-organically 
grown soy products.

Seriously though, this is a major concern-
According to a program shown several weeks ago on UK television, "Roundup 
Ready" soybeans will now be mixed in with normal soybeans. Pressure from 
certain herbicide and genetic manipulation companies has ensured that 
these soybeans will not be marketed separately, they will all be mixed in 
together. 
"Roundup Ready" soybeans are plants that have been genetically 
manipulated to be resistant to Roundup herbicide, meaning farmers can 
spray to their hearts content without worrying about killing the soybeans. 
 As the herbicide companies have assured us that Roundup is one of the 
safest herbicides known, so you can be happy about feeding your children 
this wonderful new product.

and theres nothing to worry about... is there?
