If you are going to drink a teaspoon of pure (not diluted) acetic acid each day, and salt, i'll definitely take the glyphosphate. The acetic acid is going to eat your internal organs.

Nobody said pure acetic acid. It's diluted to 5%.

  and if you dilute the glyphosphate to the amount actually used, it's still going to be less toxic than the salt + vinegar. You may not like this, but that's science!

Vinegar isn't pure acetic acid so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. I mean I know why, because then you can argue against a point I didn't make instead of the point I did. A teaspoon of regular vinegar a day is not going to have any lasting effects on your health other than making you despise anything that tastes even remotely like vinegar. Saying "salt + vinegar is more toxic than glyphosphate" is only true if you bastardize the definition of both and willingly forget for a moment that one of the chemicals is specifically designed to kill things.

  "Vinegar isn't pure acetic acid so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. I mean I know why, because then you can argue against a point I didn't make instead of the point I did." Ah, but now you've pointed out the problem with your own argument. Nobody uses 100% glyphosphate either. It's highly diluted. "Saying "salt + vinegar is more toxic than glyphosphate" is only true if you bastardize the definition of both and willingly forget for a moment that one of the chemicals is specifically designed to kill things. " Saying salt + vinegar is worse than glyphosphate is only true if you bastardize how glyphosphate is used. So yes, i'd agree with you that your point makes no sense :) " forget for a moment that one of the chemicals is specifically designed to kill things." Intent is irrelevant in nature. It's also not made to kill humans. This point is just more of the same. Acetic acid is meant to destroy things too! You are arguing "in the concentrations used, it's not destructive". That's quite literally the same as glyphosphate.
