Yes, glyphosate is harmful. Like any chemical, the dosage makes the poison.

Speaking of...

"Organic" doesn't preclude it from being sprayed with chemicals. In fact many aren't even organic. But the industry still gets to use these "organic" chemicals. (It's kind of a long list)

In addition to those chemicals (some which are synthetic), a number of organic farmers are even asking the federal government for permission to use more synthetic pesticides.
