(421 posts)Growing organically requires a steady application of intelligence and skillful means. But with those two elements, anyone can do it.
Corporations don't want to bother with that, so they depend on poisons - pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. -- and soak their crops in crap, which eventually turns up as residue in your body.
GMO crops in particular depend on the herbicide glyphosate, which is now in your beer, your meat, and if you are a woman in your tampons.
But it is all needless. Many UN and FAO scientific reports are clear on the subject - chemical poisons are a dumb idea. Organic and other sustainable systems are a good idea, and rather than accelerate Global Climate Change as GMO-chemical ag does, the clean systems actually arrest and reverse the climate change chaos.
As is well known the GMO-chemical-pharmaceutical corporations have armies of Inet trolls dedicated to spreading misinformation hither and yon.
