Recently my wife was attending a pharmaceutical conference. In conversation,
she was told that the weed killer Roundup is broken up by exposure to sunlight
in a matter of hours and cannot harm for long anything but the weeds.
Now, this guy was a rep for Monsanto, so perhaps he has a vested interest
in making such a product sound ''safe''.

,Anyone know anything about this claim?
