Organic Vs Destruction of the Planet

....When some monomaniac academics at Stanford say organic is no better than non-organic because it has the same level of vitamin content I can’t take it seriously. They don’t get it. They probably never will.  They are part of the problem and are accessories after the fact (to use the correct legal terminology) to the murder of our beloved planet, which in effect is killing us all.

Organic farming - what are the benefits?

• Protects biodiversity; 
• Helps get carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil via composting; 
• Combats global warming by not using nitrate fertilisers (responsible for 1/7 of the annual increase in greenhouse gases); 
• Doesn’t produce sick animals or milk from cows that die when they’re three years old; 
• Helps restore soils that were built up over thousands of years and have been horribly degraded in the past 50 years; 
• Encourages wildlife, birds and bees and other vital pollinators instead of killing them with sprayed poisons;
• Doesn’t use pesticides that are proven causes of birth defects – defects that are intergenerational and where your grandchildren get the hardest hit from them. 
• Uses half the fossil fuels of non-organic; 
• Organic farmers are younger and prettier (they are 30% younger and six times more likely to be female) than non-organic farmers; 
• Never uses genetically modified seeds or hormonal milk drugs which have never been properly tested for human safety; 
• Never uses sex hormones to build up layers of muscle and fat; organic farmers don’t routinely give antibiotics to their animals just to make them grow a little faster, not least because this breeds antibiotic-resistant diseases that cross-infect and kill humans. 
• Never contains hydrogenated fat, named or disguised as mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids; or artificial flavourings, colourings, preservatives.
• In Danish research published in 2003, a study showed that organic products contain more flavonoids, a well-known antioxidant defense against any diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
