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 simply make two comparisons to factual events and provided direct quotes from the top federal agencies to back up my claim.
I could provide hundreds of other examples, all you have to do is Google them for yourself. You will see that we are not talking "decades ago" but very recently and now. Here is another conspiracy diatribe from the New York Times.


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.

I think the problem here is your poor understanding of the English language.
You may want to look up the words you are misusing. Again, I'll stick to facts (which you seem to not care about).


diatribe: a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something.

When was I being forceful or bitter? (besides right now?)

irrelevant: not connected with or relevant to something.

I simply used two examples related to human health to talk about another human health issue. How is that not relevant? We are talking about the health of the human body.

association fallacy: a red herring which asserts that qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another, merely by an irrelevant association.

I picked these two examples based on human health and the fact that in both cases, the interest in big business does not align with the interest of human health. The point was to give other examples of misalignment in the context of human health.

non-sequitur: an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises

Since you weren't able to comprehend the basic premise of my argument, it makes little sense to explain to you.

false dichotomy: a type of informal fallacy that involves a situation in which limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

Again, you offer NO other alternatives than the ones I proposed. That means this is a regular old fashioned dichotomy.

Just so you know what one looks like, here is a real example of a DIATRIBE replete with false dichotomy, non-sequiturs, and association fallacies.

Let me break it down for you in simpleton terms that a non-American
like you might understand. You have a red crayon and a blue crayon.
You can have one to do your ABC's, but not the other. Which will you
pick? If you pick the red crayon, you can not do your ABC's in blue
crayon. Since you want to to do your ABC's in blue, but you picked red
you are not able to do your ABC's. Therefore you have a poor
command of English and therefore you must not be an American.

I'd like to add one more word to your English vocabulary, sarcasm.







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.
