Organic food makes sense to people on a visceral level. Pesticides kill bugs. If they kill bugs they must be a kind of poison. Poison is bad to eat. Chemical fertilizers are artificial. Artificial things are bad for eating. GMOs are designed in labs by scientists. Things designed in labs by scientists are unnatural. Unnatural things are bad to eat. Sound reasoning that stubbornly refuses to garner significant, real-world evidence or be supported by those pesky facts.
Gonna echo parent. RoundUp-ready plants encourage the spraying of more herbicide on fields instead of looking for alternate methods of control. This guy just comes across as loving his own butthole.If the evidence for organic health benefits is shaky, the "evidence" against GMOs is even worse.
I'm not a religious man, but the closest thing to God I know of is the Truth. If anything is prioritized over the truth, even motivated by the best of intentions, it will always lead to bad places. Every negative emotion, from jealousy to bitterness to anxiety stems on some level from a refusal to accept and embrace what is, and clinging instead to what we would like to be true.
Agreed. Also, this blog addresses nothing regarding organic milk, cheese or meat, which is a different but definitely related topic.
