@fu @lnxw48a1 @lxo Thanks for your question, Ji Fu.

I'm putting this glyphosate-ban forward at the Mayor election so people can vote on it. Admittedly, a referendum would be best because I'm not a single-issue candidate, but a glyphosate-ban isn't controversial enough for that. This is not an agricultural zone, per se (though I do want to boost urban growing). The Council is the main buyer of the weedkiller. Individuals could arguably buy it outside the region, but I will seek to go after vendors selling food with elevated levels, just like Council randomly tests for other contaminants. I simply hope that by talking about this we can boost the drive to end its use.

Agree. Even people who shop ethically need basic protections against fraudulent claims/conduct (see Happy Baby).
