I did read the piece you posted on organic crops. Horses carry tetnus, people working around horses are advised to get booster shots. Organic food raisers worry about E Coli in meat but use the manure on the food? Raccoon crap in your garden will give you round worms that may eat your brain. Organic means with carbon. All foods are with carbon but the meaning has changed to no chemicals or made up fertilizer. Robert Rodale who started Organic Gardening and Prevention started to give a speech at his 50th birthday celebretion, said he was going to live another 50 years. Fell dead in his soup like a cockroach hit with Raid.

And anything funded by private enterprise cannot be compared to the altruistic result from a study funded by Left Wing NGOs or Government, who are here to help you. Of Course. Absolutely. Without question. Hit some more hyperboles. If it's funded by the industry it purports to research, it is rare beyond rare that results the industry doesn't wish to see get published. It's not conflict of interest. It is the interest of the research to make a case for industry claims. Pretty simple. Government funded gives it some distance from the industry. In these days of bed sharing by industry and government regulators, the distance is fairly short, but it's there and can be restored a bit further under administrations that don't conflate the distance too much.
