Alex S asked: There’s is NO scientific proof to say organic foods are better. Furthermore, nobody decides whether or not a food can say it is Organic, so any company can just call it that without adhering to some federal standard. Non-organic foods many times are genetically enhanced to last longer, taste better, resist disease, and HAVE MORE NUTRIENTS than they normally do in nature. There are actually studies that say, since ‘organic’ foods dont use pesticides, that organic foods can be LESS HEALTHY because of the insects that carry diseases that use these organic foods as their breeding grounds. This isn’t really a question, I’m just tired of people falling for marketing schemes without ever researching what their spending money on. Please, save your money, science is good for you, don’t buy into nonsense. Don’t believe me? Google it.
wow, did you guys even read what I was saying? The amount of pesticides used on foods are not bad for you, they’re completely fine. Millions of dollars have gone into testing that, or else we wouldnt have been EATING IT FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS. It’s not about making it “visually appealling”, it’s about making it bigger, so you have more to eat. I bet 1000 nobody could “taste” the pesticides on food, you people must be functionally retarded. You’re probably the same people who can “taste” the difference between bottled waters. Man, people are ignorant….I’ve given up on society…
Effects on the human DNA?? Are you kidding me, have you ever even taking a science class……
Yes, propaganda, cause it benefits me SOO MUCH for stupid people to save money. Google it, simple as that, find MEDICAL DOCTORS that’ll give their opinions before you give yours.
I work for a software engineering company in the banking industry, you tool. Everybody keeps saying, “for thousands of years people ate organic”…well think of this, why is it that now people are LIVING LONGER THAN EVER BEFORE? People also lived without modern medicine for thousands of years, DOES THAT MEAN IT’S BAD FOR YOU!?! Man I wish I could punch stupid people all day
Me the victim of clever marketing?? When have you EVER seen a commercial touting a food as being non-organic and using that as a selling point? I do see the point that increased exposure to pesticides that farmers and workers receive can’t be healthy, but that has nothing to do with the food and it’s healthiness to the person eating it. –And dont give me this ‘people did just fine’ bs, people have always done ‘just fine’, does that mean we quit trying to improve? OR GO BACKWARDS?! Damn yuppies.
DO THE RESEARCH. http://www.food.gov.uk/news/newsarchive/2003/jun/cheltenham
THERE YOU GO, go a couple of paragraphs down and read the words
” In our view the current scientific evidence does not show that organic food is any safer or more nutritious than conventionally produced food.
Nor are we alone in this assessment. For instance, the French Food Safety Agency (AFSSA) has recently published a comprehensive 128-page review which concludes that there is no difference in terms of food safety and nutrition.
Also, the Swedish National Food Administration’s recent research report finds no nutritional benefits of organic food. ”
THATS A SPEECH FROM THE FOODS STANDARDS AGENCY CHAIR IN ENGLAND, WAS A GOOGLE SEARCH REALLY THAT HARD TO DO?!
Here’s another link for ya http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/organic.html
READ it, I like it where THE DOCTOR says “In some situations, pesticides even reduce health risks by preventing the growth of harmful organisms, including molds that produce toxic substances [12].
”
WOW, how’s that for a slap to the face for you monkeys?
