Do you see any benefit to the reduction of antibiotics and growth hormones proposed by the organic community?

I have no stake steak in the ground regarding this issue.

A reduction in antibiotic use is probably warranted in situations where they are being abused. Using antibiotics correctly is highly beneficial. If anyone can prove, using sound scientific research, that utilizing growth hormones harm us in any way then I might be in favor of reducing their use. However, there is no sound scientific evidence that utilizing growth hormones to increase production does anything other than increase production.

The organic community proposes many things that don't make sense when considered through a perspective built on sound science. I fully understand why they want to differentiate their products. Unfortunately, trying to establish a difference via alarmism just isn't acceptable.
