I don’t think organic food is a scam. How is selling people meat that has not been jumped up on hormone injections and antibiotics in the feed a scam?

or selling crackers without 10,000 preservatives. how is that a scam?

And what are the health risks of organic food?

Organic food is food grown without modern pesticides. Like the DDT fiasco, this attempt to eliminate the synthetic chemicals in the process simply allows natural parasites and bacteria to flourish in their absence. So when you buy ‘organic’, you are buying food that carries a significantly higher risk of making you sick, in some potentially serious ways.
