The Anti-Organic Straw Man ~ Pesticides and Food Allergies, Irradiation and more...
If you’ve been eating organic foods to increase your daily intake of zinc and copper, two common nutrients found in a variety of foods, we’ve got news for you. A recent study from Denmark compared organic and conventional diets and found no difference in zinc and copper absorption.
If you’ve been eating organic foods to increase your daily intake of zinc and copper, two common nutrients found in a variety of foods, we’ve got news for you. A recent study from Denmark compared organic and conventional diets and found no difference in zinc and copper absorption.
Why are we reporting the findings of a study that found no differences in levels of two abundant nutrients? Because others are, and it shows how desperate the agrochemical industry and their mouthpieces have become in their embarrassing attempts to shift public opinion away from supporting organics

$46 Million Advertising Blitz Convinces Citizens to Vote “Against Own Interests”
Sacramento, CA — After a deluge of allegedly misleading advertisements paid for in large part by pesticide and biotechnology corporations, California voters defeated Proposition 37, which would have given them the right–to-know whether the foods they buy at the grocery store contain genetically engineered ingredients (GMOs).

Agriculture is a major force of global environmental change, and currently accounts for more global greenhouse gas release than transportation. With the demand for crops projected to double by 2050 University of Minnesota Professor David Tilman explores the impacts that increase will have in the decades to come, and how to manage this with proper planning and global management.

This is hands down the best source for data what is going on in the global battle against genetically engineered agriculture, foods, etc. There is so much information here you would read for weeks and not get to all of it, following the links to yet more information. If you are truly interested in being a force to help change the world on this issue, this is a great, great resource.

Monsanto GMO Corn Linked to Organ Failure
How many times have you read articles that claim that there is no evidence that genetically engineered foods are harmful in any way. I am begging to differ with a series of posts refuting that claim.
"In a study released by the International Journal of Biological Sciences, analyzing the effects of genetically modified foods on mammalian health, researchers found that agricultural giant Monsanto's GM corn is linked to organ damage in rats.
According to the study, which was summarized by Rady Ananda at Food Freedom, "Three varieties of Monsanto's GM corn - Mon 863, insecticide-producing Mon 810, and Roundup® herbicide-absorbing NK 603 - were approved for consumption by US, European and several other national food safety authorities."
