Why does every green fad seem the same?

organic meat more conscientiously.
A bit like their global warming, coverage, actually.

Clearly, your interest in industry-driven junk science is not limited
to the issue of climate change. How drearily predictable ...

You'd do better to follow facts Flan and the facts are that organic
food has
no benefits.

If you examine the study carefully, it doesn't make that claim, and
lacks the methodology to sustain such a claim, though it was widely
reported in these terms.

Organic food tastes better and is more enjoyable, isn't contaminated
with pesticides, chemicals, additives, etc., and according to some
reports, stays fresher longer. However, only those on high incomes can
afford to regularly eat organic.

Huh?
Evidence?

1. "Organic food tastes better and is more enjoyable"

Personal experience. and ask anyone who uses it.

How do they know if they don't eat normal food?


I find it amusing that you call industrial food "normal food". It's
about as *abnormal* as one can imagine.

But for the record, I also regularly buy industrial food, precisely
because sometimes one can't source organic.
