If you buy Organic Food then you've bought into a Fable. According to...

I don't usually have emotional reactions to all the nonsense i read but this made me angry! The author blames organic consumers for the fact that the world's poor can't afford nutrition. I agree that it is pure evil how we manage food production and distribution. But I'm not going to poison my family when I have the means to try to get them better food. F that guy. He is deluded. Attack the assholes who attempt to feed us pure poison and have created a system that makes it possible for most people to eat healthier. I'm steamed, but ty for the link.

Typo, I meat impossible for most to afford better

Thanks for the pin!

LMFAO

bunk

granted, i agree that a lot if what gets labeled 'organic' is suspect, but there is a discernable difference in taste and nuitrition when i eat mass farmed veggies vs organic veggies grown by local farmers.

the industrial model is doomed, because it is progressively destroying the ecosystem that sustains all of us, so when the new york times makes a statement like this:

"I’d rather be against nature and have more people better fed. I’d rather be serious about the world’s needs. And I trust the monitoring agencies that ensure pesticides are used at safe levels — a trust the Stanford study found to be justified."

..the hypocrisy rings loud.

Yes that's all true, BUT i think it deserves to be mentioned WHY they are attacking organic food now.

California is about to vote on whether to make it mandatory to label GMO foods... you know that Monsanto crap that kills test mice and causes birth deformities, etc.

VOTE YES on prop 37 to make them label the bad GMOs that are taking over the market. The only way we can tell right now is to buy organic, so they are attacking the organic industry.

Right! It's so anthropocentric! Why do we need to feed 9 billion people? Because we overbreed like we are rabbits rather than cognizant human beings. I would rather see education about birth control and nutrition than 9 billion fat, blurry eyed, chronically sick eaters walking the planet like zombies.

All these dumb people getting sidetracked by the fact that you don't eat organic for better taste or better nutrient content, but for LACK OF INGESTING POISON.


If you want better tasting food, purchase or grow your own organic heirloom or hybrid crops. Pick varieties with known high taste and not necessarily the best yield or turnaround. Commercially produced stuff is for quantity and speed, not flavor.

It is infuriating.

If all the knuckledraggers want to eat gmo food full of pesticides I say that is fine for them but the fact is that poison food is spreading into healthy food. We have to stop it! Monsanto knows this and then fines farmers that do not use Monsanto seed. Organic farmers do not want contaminated crops. We actually need to not live and let live, we need to fight back because our food source is attacked.

Good point! U r most certainly correct

and the study was probably funded by monsanto... yeah, i belive that... and high fructose corn syrup is healthy too, right?

I know! Like that study has any meaning to us. We know better. Proof it is intended to stop the growth of the organic industry by dissuading those who don't yet know. Big Agribusiness is evil. They don't mind starving and poisoning to make a buck.

I don't know how better to fight than by giving my food dollars to the better producer and encouraging others to do the same. Our dollars are the only thing they care about.

Ill say it now and ill say it again

there is a big difference between CERTIFIED organic and just organic!!!

More lies from Monsanto and friends.

Unfortunately, China is now mass-producing "organic" food, so the larger vendors like Kroger and Whole Foods are probably including a lot of that in their offerings. And, there are many standards as to what constitutes organic food. Monsanto is trying to get GMO food labeled organic as long as it is grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides.

So, in that sense, if you don't know where it comes from, you probably are buying into a fable. But I'll keep trying anyway!

exactly --you should go reply to his twitter feed

with this info.

everyone should.
that ny times writer should be ashamed

I never bought into the organic shiz, but I have been labeled a "delusional conspiracy theorist" by many.

Haaaaaaa!

Norons... as I said before, organic food can still have loads of chemicals and shit in it.

only CERTIFIED organic is 100% free of that crap. at least in Canada I know that for sure

jeez

love the all seeing eye in the pic of that article too! very cute!

Freshness is a key to the nutrient value of food. More likely to be fresh if it is grown locally and organically.

if theres no difference then why is Monsatan trying to patent all the seeds?????

Just taste organic and you know. Put in in your fridge and you will see.

Nobody buys organic food for the nutritional value....It's because they don't use pesticides..

Start with killing yourself if you feel so strongly?

The Stanford study only measured levels of vitamins and minerals for which a Government RDA has been established.

It's well known that synthetic fertilizer bonds to trace minerals like boron, germanium, and vanadium - minerals that conventional medicine claims have no value - making them impossible to take up by plants.

It's also well known that organic foods have much higher level of phytonutrients -- organic tomatoes have significantly more lycopene, for example.

So the Stanford study was just bullshit. Might as well have been put out by Pfizer or Monsanto.

I grow my own & home can. A lot of work but at least I am doing the best to feed my kids the cleanest food I possibly can.

This will all be taken care of momentarily.

"God" is about to put things back in balance.

oh but why don't they label the GMOs lol :) the poisondustry just can't lose fair can they :)
