Comment Re:Too bad for the "organic food" folks... (Score 1) 738
Meanwhile, the "organic food" folks insist that food must be grown using only slightly modified classical techniques, for a variety of reasons from vitamin density (overstated relative to studies, at best), to mystical mumbo jumbo like vibrations and auras.
In all my readings of serious, scientific organic farming* I have -never- come across techniques regarding "vibrations and auras". Clearly, you seek to dismiss organic farming with a lack of understanding. I believe organic farming is sustainable in terms of small-scale backyard veggie-garden usage, and maybe small-scale village hobby farmers, however to keep up with demand, it is not a viable option with the likes of Supermarkets monopolizing the food supply industry with commercialized, genetically-modified foods, and also due to the susceptibility of organic crops to pests and droughts etc. In our modern day society it is just so much easier to ditch organic farming on large-scales; being highly susceptible to droughts and pests etc. does not look favourable to the eyes of farmers and investors with other less-risky (in the short term) options available. * en.wiktionary.org/wiki/organic_farming
