Re: I'd be interested in knowing what you guys think about organic food temeraire Send a noteboard - 11/09/2012 08:55:17 PM

1. Do you think organic food is healthier/safer/more nutritious than ordinary food?


safer, pestcides are poisons i'm not interested in eating

2. What do you think is the most important benefit derived from organic farming?


less chemistry dumped into environment

3. What do you think will be the role of organic food in 20 years? Will it continue to grow in the future?


hopefully yes, hopefully a return to better values about agriculture that isn't business focused.

4. At least the world's population will continue to grow. Is it sensible to push for organic farming with its low crop yields when people are starving?


this isn't the problem - the problem is distribution. if you could send all the wasted food from the usa to africa, who would starve? how do we get more food to starving people is the question. there is enough food. the reason people are starving is due to poverty and lack of access to resources, not crop yield.

5. Should the use of GMOS be allowed in organic farming?


of course not.
"it's like the real world, except there's dragons!"

cw, you are missed...

I think the organic movement is mostly a big scam: an excuse to charge more money for less food. Tim - 12/09/2012 11:40:40 PM 663 Views
Actually, I believe the "no pesticides" part predates the "no GMOs" part. Joel - 13/09/2012 05:26:53 AM 701 Views
