in no way am i hiding behind a word... im using it as it should be used,
and organic not only means pesticide and herbicide free it also means non gmo and grown naturally.
and im sure those levels of pesticides are low or insignificant.....and are you trying to argue that even with with the water containing certain levels of pesticides, that much safer than crops that have been genetically modfified and sprayed with pesticides and herbicides? or are u just trying to be a pessimist?
I didn't say shit about GMO crops. The bt toxin in GMO corn has been my talking point for years and I definitely don't trust it or much of Monsanto.
I'm tired of irrational arguments like your french study you linked, while probably having nothing more than the equivalent of a 2rd grade understanding of nutrition.
The rats used in that study are the virgin albino Sprague-Dawley rats which are extremely prone to tumors by nature.
Gilles-Eric, the study leader has published a book highly against GMO technology...so the study could have been just a tad bit biased.
"Grown naturally" Oh you mean like how plants are grown by nature in nice neat little rows in low nitrogen soil from decades of use? Or how nature magically selectively breeds plants for genetics that humans want them to exhibit?
There is nothing natural about humans growing plants.
There's a growing trend of ignorance. I am definitely against certain GMO practices and certain food practices but at least I know how to form a rational argument that isn't based on hysteria and half-truths.
