Aside from being too expensive, what is wrong with organic food? I eat some of it.

Are there people who would prefer to eat foods laced with cancer causing agents?

This is not a political issue or at least it should not be.

Don't be a sheep. The vast majority of the proven carcinogens in your diet are natural pesticides that plants produce to protect themselves from insects, or compounds such as aflatoxins that are also produced by Mother Nature when mold grows on cereal crops, seeds and nuts-- especially organic crops that can't be treated with relatively innocuous fungicides. Organic food is the second biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the public, after global warming.

Nothing is wrong with it.

It's not too expensive either, as evidenced by the shortage, it's probably under priced.

I'll prefer, and seek out, the inorganic foods myself.

BTW, organics are going to remain a food of the elites, as it is, and will continue to be, impossible to feed the world using organic methods.

You really don't know?

It is a scientific (and medical) FACT that people who eat organic food will die some of the most horrible deaths that mankind can think up!

It may be compounded by the fact that folks will also drink slighty adulterated Dihydrogen Monoxide with meals.

I like the more natural methods that organic farming uses, but I rarely buy organic veggies. I spend my money on pastured meat and eggs, and pastured butter.
