You seem to be conflating 'GMO' with 'organic'. Organic food is more about avoiding pesticide residue, artificial hormones or antibiotics, etc. And if you don't find things like carcinogens or endocrine disruptors scientific then I'm sorry to tell you that you're underinformed.
- jcranmer 10y agoUh, organic foods DO have ample pesticides used on them. Generally more pesticides, and more toxic pesticides, in fact.
- istorical 10y ago"Organic foods" is an idea. Organic foods in practice may often fail to live up to their ambition though, you're correct.

- ptaipale 10y ago"Organic" food is not about avoiding pesticide residue; it is about using pesticides approved by certifying parties and paying for this certification. Avoiding hormones and antibiotics is more relevant. Carcinogens are everywhere.
