So basically an article about how every health food will kill you. I think this wins clickbait of the year award. In other news: ingesting too high a dose of vitamins causes disease. Film at 11. On the "lower productivity economic impact" comment: productive compared to what? A large majority of our crops are soybeans and corn, which we subsidize mainly for industrial and export purposes, not to feed our people. In no way would we need to clear-cut parklands to produce more organic crops. News flash: we don't grow all our food. The US spent 137 million dollars on food imports last year, compared to 43 million in 1999. A majority of our imports are horticultural and tropical. However, our exports (grains, feeds, soybeans, livestock, horticulture) always top our imports. This is especially funny coming from a British rag. More than half of the UK's food is imported, and they always have a large trade deficit, which the US does not. They whine about US greenhouse gases, whereas the UK outsources its food production to other countries, thus claiming they don't produce as much greenhouse gas in the UK - because they're producing it elsewhere. The land required for producing UK food has increased by 23% since 1986. What was that about us having to clear-cut our parks again? "Essentially, organic food is rich people spending their extra cash to feel good". Except that organics are now getting cheaper, more plentiful and more efficient, as the common consumer demands more organics as well. The overall push for more organic and less harmful food has resulted in better conditions for livestock and less harmful feed additives.
