Abstract :

There are several methods of information convenient for natural science education, including press and television. The author checks the information which was published on the TV show and press by Rūta Janutienė, concerning the bread contamination with high stability toxin glyphosate. This herbicide is used to sprey the crop. The article provides information about the worldwide scientific research in order to investigate the effect of toxic glyphosate on humans and the environment. The conclusion is drawn about the negative influence of glyphosate on the reproducibility. The author proves that journalist Rūta Janutienė has touched an essential contemporary ecological issue.

Keywords :
