There's no difference between hydro and soil except space and efficiency. That's just a response to perceived "newness" of an object you've invested a lot of emotion in (food). Dirt is teeming with nasty microbes, the nutrients in dirt are largely excrement.....still sound appetizing?
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm all for trying new things so no, that's not my problem. I've partaken of hydroponic "herbs" on a few occasions and it's a good idea for space saving, I get that. My only issue with it is the having to flush the chemicals out - with my excrement filled food, I can eat it right out of the ground...poo and all!

"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.
