Say it with me folks, organic is a marketing scam.


I am actually suprised there hasn't been more garbage like this vomited out by the corrupt organic industry to demonize the scientific advancements that are proving the organic label is nothing more than a marketing scam, not some quantifier of nutritional value.

Something else for you anti-GMO dingbats to ponder. Why do the sme people own a majority of stocks in both Monsanto AND Whole Foods?

Even Stanford, with its multi-million dollar conflict of interests, concluded that organic results in at least a 30% reduction in exposure to pesticides (which is peculiar given how often industry apologists, which is what you are Bonesaw21, claim that organic uses infinitely more pesticides) and at least a 30% reduction in exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Tell us Bonesaw21, just how much healthier it is to eat foods that increase our exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The only corrupt segment of the organic industry is the growing segment dominated by "big food" that seeks to water down the standards and ensure that thresholds for inadvertent GMO contamination are not implemented in USDA's organic standards, unlike the Non-GMO Project which sets 0.9% as the threshold similar to EU guidelines.

In almost every scenario, non-trsnsgenic crops (conventional and organic) match transgenic crops or exceed them in the long-term for drought-resistance and yields.
