Organic food?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

False dichotomy, really.

Really, that's a false dichotomy? If so, what would be the myriad of other options?

Perhaps you could re-read my post where I point out at least one synthesis of the supposed opposing perspectives?

I'm sorry but this is a complete non-sequitur and reads more like a conspiracy theory diatribe. I fail to see the link between studies dismissing issues regarding tobacco written several decades ago and contemporary longitudinal discourse on the efficacy of pesticides.

Really, a non-sequitur and reads more like a conspiracy theory diatribe?
I simply make two comparisons to factual events and provided direct quotes from the top federal agencies to back up my claim.

1. Yes, really, a non-sequitur and an irrelevant diatribe. The link between cigarette companies and studies which dismiss claims of of their harm for humans and the environment has precisely NOTHING to do with organic food. It is an association fallacy and I and everyone else is ignoring it.
2. I am not googling to assist you with your thesis. I stand by mine; I am unable to think, to date, of a single conclusive study that indicates 'organic' food provides anything above and beyond so called 'in-organic' food
3. Please desist in presuming I'm American. Not everyone is American.
4. If possible, could you utilise the quotation function as I have above? I understand that you are new and so I don't doubt you are unfamiliar with our board format, which is no problem. However if this debate expands any further people will find it very difficult to quote you properly.
