The fact that organic farming is more difficult to do with a minimal labor force helping out doesn't meant that it is not better for the planet, or more profitable, or more likely to save family farms or keep people healthy. That is the trouble with arguments--they are multi-faceted. I accept that high tech farming, spraying pesticides everywhere and using GM crops, is probably easier from your perspective, however. I edited the post you objected to about your father--I'm not sure if you read the final version. I said perhaps the kidney shutdown your father had which was medically induced is different from the kind that happens when people go off liquids and food at the end of life. Again, I have the experience of my own mother, whose experience would be more like Terri Schiavo's clinically. And all of the research that has been done on patients in the same situation. I am sure there is some explanation for your father's experience, but I suspect it is an anomaly. Definitely it is not typical of what others experience at the end of life after liquids and food have been withdrawn.
