Organic is …
Organic is important, but NON-GMO seeds is a much more important issue. If you think the chemicals are OK and people are living longer, then explain the MASSIVE cancer problem in the USA and how it began within 5 years of GMO & round up development and implementation. just watch “the world according to Monsanto” here on youtube.

Let me put things …
Let me put things into perspective for you:
The amount of labor that it takes to produce 20 GM apples produces 5 on an organic farm. This is due to many factors including the amount of crops that go bad on an organic farm, the amount of agricultural land, etc. This is totally illogical considering the amount of those who are starving. That number would only increase.
Read up on what you’re eating as well as GM foods. You’ll find that they are perfectly harmless and economic.

You can do a long …
You can do a long term study on ANYTHING in general and find SOMETHING “bad”. Everything around you is said to be a cancer causing agent. The thing is, there’s radiation everywhere; Even your computer is emitting a small amount of radiation. Everyone has a risk of getting cancer.
The majority of the U.S. is eating GM foods. They are fine. In any mass of people you’re bound to find some who have cancer no matter what, even organic foods. The average life span is at an all time high.

Maybe so …
Maybe so nutritionally, but your store bought food is probably GM and also contains residues of pesticides,insecticides,etc which are proven carcinogens and in the long run may ver well cause cancers.Also there has not been a long term scientific study on the effect of GM food as these have not been around that long;again some people claim they are harmless,some say they cause cancer.The bottomline is I do not want to eat food full of pesticides&insecticides and GM food.That’s my preference.

There is no …
There is no nutritional difference between store-bought foods and organic foods.

If you would like …
If you would like to diverge off of the real matter and talk about “loving” your plant and all that jazz, then by all means do so. Just not when it’s not relevant to the debate at hand. Your “love” for your plants serve as no support to your side of your debate; Only a very unintentionally funny bit of insight that has little to no relevance at the topic at hand.
Point blank: If the world went “organic”, the world would have a larger amount of those suffering from starvation.

Again: The only …
Again: The only thing you have provided me with is merely claims.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with store bought foods. We have been eating them for years and yet our average life span remains at that all time high.
I know how organic farming works. I was an avid fan of the organic business until I actually researched the “differences” myself. There are really NO differences besides the agricultural means; Not even nutritional difference. Store-bought foods are harmless.

Also,what do you …
Also,what do you think happens to excess insecticides,pesticides,chemical fertilizers;they flow to rivers,underground polluting our water resources.Pick up any scientific journal to see the extent of pollution due to this type of farming,you asked for evidence,it’s out there in front of you if you want to see it.Most importantly,in organic farming you can do it alone without depending on any products from corporations.Yes,it’s labor intensive,but it’s a labor of love.Many other things,no space..

Dude,growing …
Dude,growing organic food is not just about money;it may be hard for you to understand this as you seem to be the type who looks at everything from a bottomline perspective.Organic is much more than making more money than food grown with chemical farming.The most important aspect is the soil,your type of farming treats soil as dirt to hold the plants in place,for organic grower soil is alive with countless organisms,you don’t try to kill them,you try to use them in your favour.This is just one.

There’s nothing …
There’s nothing wrong with store bought foods and produce. The average life span is higher than it ever has been, and I’m pretty sure the average person is actually EATING the harmless commercial foods and not paying $4 more for a apple.

Well at least …
Well at least provide evidence on your part. I’ve supported my side of the issue, yet the only thing you can do is to insult me by calling ME a sham and crying about how I’m wrong, without any evidence on the contrary.
In America, if one has an opinion, one is allowed to speak it, and thus I shall speak it.
What I think is that you don’t want to hear the ugly truth that you are wasting all of that excess money. Go on and waste all of that cash if you want. Just know there’s a better way.

The issue on “taste …
The issue on “taste” is totally opinionated; To tell a person that one tastes better than the other as a matter of fact is a complete fallacy and proves how much of a fool YOU are.
On the issue of nutrition: Recent studies conducted by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has found that there is no nutritional difference between the two. The only reason people are willing to pay more is for it’s PERCEIVED health benefits. Much like a useless placebo.

I’m sorry but you …
I’m sorry but you are clearly a fool. Have you ever eaten a home-grown, heirloom, organic tomato and then the fertilized low-quality tomato from any grocery store? Obviously not. Maybe you should actually try that sometime. And about the nutritional difference. Plants that have to fend for themselves have to produce more antioxidants to defend themselves, as well as different hormones to deter bugs and notify the plants around them of threats. Again, you are a fool. Learn biology.

I agree with you …
I agree with you 100%, the organic ‘business’ is a scam. I also agree that there is pschology involved. As a matter of fact, that was my original point. Drying seeds and growing your own vegetables, year after year, provides a piece of mind that you can’t find anywhere else. And, after year 1, it doesn’t cost a dime. If more people learned to be self reliant, we would’nt have to worry about the starving masses.

I’ve done more than …
I’ve done more than enough research, and so have many others. The organic business is a sham. There is no difference in taste what so ever. The only difference is the method of cultivation.
It’s psychological, really. If you’re told that a homegrown organic strawberry is “better” than a commercial strawberry, you’d naturally be inclined to think that the more expensive strawberry is tastier.
Please do research yourself. There is no difference in nutrition between the two.

It’s easy to …
It’s easy to mis-quote other people’s distorted facts, but to form a real opinion on any issue, you should approach the issue, hands-on. Do a simple experiment. Compare an organic strawberry with a high-bred. The organic is in a class by it’s self. It tastes better, and is more nutritious. This is just one small example. Don’t worry about the abstrcat statistic of ’3 billion people’. You can’t help them until you help yourself.

It also reminds us …
It also reminds us at how many more people would starve in this world if we were to take a global approach to organic foods. It takes about four times as much land to produce the same amount of food as non organic farms. So, which 3 billion people in the world deserve to starve?
Also, there is no nutritional or taste difference between the two, nor is there any evidence of such.
Organic farms do just as much harm to the environment as non organic in terms of methane natural gas.

This is a great …
This is a great video. But there is one benifit of organic gardening that he forgot to mention. It reminds us that people have survived on this planet for thousands of years without the help of modern technology. Organic gardening plants the seeds of self-reliance. If you nurse those seeds, it will change your life.

I’ve heard that egg shells contain calcium.
You can keep the egg shells after you make eggs, wash’em out, grind them up and put it in you graden. The Calcium with help stop blossom rot with tomato’s and peppers.

Not only is it best to get eggs from small family farms in terms of healthy eggs, but it’s usually cheaper too! My dad knows someone who has a farm with chickens, so we get our eggs natural, cage-free, and cheap without paying extra for the organic kind at our grocery store. Ya gotta have connections, usually.
