Don’t know what to believe.
I remember that a new study found that man is causing the
earth to get warmer and we were going to burn up in
10 years.
What I do know is that scientists will lie like an Obama
to get funding. Science and its scientists have been so
politicized that they are totally untrustworthy.

Yeah...yeah. That’s fine, but let me ask you a question, lady bug breath, tell me why it is that organic milk lasts ten times longer before going bad in the frig compared to regular non-organic milk? Huh? Huh? Huh? :-)

Why does today’s “organic” foods look so, well, perfect?

I grew up in a home overseen by a kooky health nut who fed the family blemished apples and Brewer’s Yeast as a steady diet. In all those long trips to the infrequent health food stores, I found their produce looked like hell and was distinctly unappetizing. I assume because they were not treated with pesticides. Go into Whole Foods today and organic food looks like pristine still life paintings. It makes me highly suspicious.

I’ve taken to eating leftover Chinese takeout in the morning. The rebellious teen in me still lives and thrives!

Except your Roundup goes into my water supply.

I do not believe that the EU permits genetically-modified crops, which means that their residents would not have nearly the Roundup exposure that we have.

so you maintain it is healthier to eat poop? And you would force all of to do the same? How about no.

I bough some fresh rosemary for some Olive Oil Rosemary bread yesterday. Tiny package $3.49, tinier package organic $4.49. The price was unappetizing.

Or pizza, leftover pizza is good too. But anything with rice, I love rice.

That’s of course a false dichotomy—not overloading with pesticides does not require less-organic fertilizer.

But yeah, I’d take crops that are correctly fertilized with manure over Roundup-soaked vegetables any day of the week.

“That’s of course a false dichotomy”

I call your false dichotomy and bid you a straw man

I see you’re from Kansas. Not a Monsanto rep, by chance, are you?
