I think the proper comparison is Roundup verses other herbicides. It that comparative analysis, it definitely wins.

  I think you mean "vs other herbicides."

  Especially vs other broad spectrum herbicides. We used this one year as a no till knock down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraquat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraquat The skull and cross bones on the label was bad enough but seeing what even the smallest of drops did to plants was an eye opener. A droplet small enough to blow 30 feet in the air was enough to make a yellow spot on any plant it landed on. It is also linked to Parkinson's disease.

VX (and VG) nerve agents were originally intended for use as pesticides so this isn't surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)#Discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)#Discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VG_(nerve_agent) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VG_(nerve_agent)

  being the best of a bad bunch (if it does in fact have these health risks) won't somehow make it good.
