1) If organic was the standard, billions of people would starve due to the productivity implosion that would occur. And even if we tilled every square inch of land to increase production, we'd still run out of water.

2) There are thousands of FDA and European directives that specify competent drug and device testing regimens. Isn't it odd that all these organic food claims circulate yet no one has ever used one of these scientific regimens to test the validity of these claims?

3) And notice how quickly industry will use proper clinical testing to validate a multi-million dollar product? Yet isn't it odd that even though someone proving the safety of organic food would unlock access to trillions of dollars per year in sales, all these greedy corporations don't seem to do the testing?

Lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at statistics.

Organic food is a tax on people who are bad at biochemistry.

We already have billions of people starving to death in other countries so really whats the difference? At least the ones that survived would be healthy far less diseases and less taxing on the health care systems etc.

In Canada you have to be certified organic which requires testing Organic Products - Food - Canadian Food Inspection Agency

The difference is billions more would starve. The reason so many starve now is because the rest of the world can't adopt the higher productivity farming systems like we have in the US and Europe.

As far as being "certified organic"... that's a standard for the organic process. That's far from being clinically tested as safe and effective.

Picture this: I can manufacture hydrogen cyanide (deadly poison) pills to the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards.

But the pills would still kill you because they aren't deemed safe and effective by the New Drug Application (NDA) process.

Huge difference.

It's hilarious to me that all these supposedly greedy, soulless big food companies would all choose to avoid studies showing the safety and efficacy of organic food even though they'd reap trillions of dollars in sales (and profit) if they could show their foods are superior to everyone else's.

ahhh, she's so cute!


As for organic, I am not an extremest, I buy organic when it's on sale. My motto; eat 80% really well, the other 20% don't worry so much.

The world would not starve if all food was organic since we have the means to do it, it's just that the demons like Monsanto would go out of business. Let's keep people sick they say, Keeps pharma nice and rich.
And you know, it's not even about organic. It's about teaching people how to eat right/healthy period.
I saw a woman in the grocery store today with about 10 bottles of pop, cheeses, junk, white breads and tons of slabs of gross friggin meats. All she needs to do is eat some good NON organic real foods and she will be much better off.

Humans are like garbage disposals. Now who's in for a shot of Paprika Kool Aid?

But would they make more? It does cost more to grow and produce organic foods.
