Organically grown Deaths Head mushrooms and Hemlock are deadly as are certain bacteria and molds. I’m not sure what it is they are asserting.

On a more positive note, standard Chinese grown food is great for laminating tables.

That reminds me of something from a 1950’s Mad magazine describing a product as made of “sturdy laminated chicken fat”!

It doesn’t help that much of their food is watered with human waste. That is very organic, but not too healthy.

What he is asserting essentially defies half a century of American and European research showing that herbicides, pesticides, and other killing chemicals are harmful to human health - even in small amounts over a long period of time.

Pesticides prevent tumors? Instead of promoting them? He needs a whole lot of research to support his contrarian conclusion. If it were true, agribusiness and other food corporations would have rolled out that one a long time ago.

For years, I’ve known people who shunned “preservatives,” like BHT and BHA. Then along come “antioxidants,” like BHA and BHT.

OF COURSE organic foods are deadly. This has been known since the beginning of man.

Let's pick a group for our clinical trial. We need a large group of people of people who ate exclusively organic foods for their entire lives.

Hard to find a control group in this era, so let's say the people our our great newly founded country living from 1800-1850 AD.

We'll use all the occupants of the original 13 states, including all ethnicities, including Native Americans, to broaden our group.

ALL of them are DEAD. Every single person in our trial is now DEAD. Therefore . . . organic food is deadly. I rest my case . . .
