You lot must realise that I usually put forward a strong environmentalist
line on this forum. But I have to say I agree with the anti-organic methods
posts in this thread but... but... but... firstly, organic farming will only
use fungicides when necessary, whereas conventional agriculture has
Organic and Small Farmers and Ranchers; Natural Food Products Farmers Under
Attack...
The Obama administration is pushing farm controls through Congress as fast
as possible and has coordinated the bills so there will be no debate and the
committee meetings
This is becuase the organic old school sprays that most organic
farms use are actually MORE toxic. Most modern bug and fungus sprays
are designed to break down quickly and NOT poison groundwater. Where
as the old organics One of the common fungicides is copper
acetate or sulfate. Which
Um, I don't know for sure but I don't think that the certified organic
produce used the sprays you are talking about, certainly I know that it has
a far lower level of toxicity in the produce and beter levels of vitamins,
phytonutrients and minerals.
If certified organic in the US is so poorly
Copper sulfate and other copper salts are pretty much the ONLY
fungicides used by organic farming. The sprays used today by
conventional farming are NOT the poisonous , groundwater polluting,
wildlife killing soups they were 20 years ago. We figured out that
certain things were bad, and then
You have some quite unbalanced points in there but I don't have the will or

In other words you have a gut instinct that I'm wrong, I mean, organic

in what way I'm wrong, and you'd rather not do the research and
shatter your world view. Sigh. Just like all the anti alt sci types.
This is a SCIENCE
No, I know that it is better, and know know that much of what you say is
flawed but I don't see the point in arguing it with you.
Organic food has higher levels of vitamins and phytonutrients, is lacks the
chemical soup that is used by conventionally grown produce and various other
advantages.
