Organic food and organic agriculture will never feed the world, yet adherents in western countries continue to expand. Or are they?
Recent studies show a connection between organic agriculture and food devotees and altruistic behaviour which may indicate some social and psychological conditions.
Many of the claims made about organic food just do not stack up, especially in relation to freedom from pesticides in comparison to conventionally produced foods.
While the tenor of this recent article is provocative, and probably meant to be that way, it does debunk many claims related to organic production systems, and alludes to the social issues around users of the materials.
Read it yourself, and do not be too indulgent with your food. A good diet is essential!!
