I HATE the organic food movement. It doesnt taste better, look at any blind test study and modified food wins almost every time. Same with looks, growth, nutrients ect. There is a reason we modify food.

Back when I was in my one man campaign against Greenpeace I learned the interesting fact that if you replaced all the modified crops in the world with organic crops the yield would only be enough to feed 2.5 billion people... only 4 billion short.

I'm certainly no fan of the organic food movement, I like growing my own veggies and such but that's purely for something to do. Basically as a hobby but even that's taught me that without fertilizer, pesticide or 24/7 monitoring your yield suffers. I don't much have the time to pick bugs off or put out live traps. Now extend that to an entire farm...yeah.

Consider your campaign reinforced.

Like I said, the number of hungry or starving people would easily triple if we instituted all-organic farming.

I'm leaning toward genetically modified fast-growing crops, personally. Taste is sort of secondary to hunger.

Aye, not a fan of the organic food movement either. Half their claims are just plain invented.
