Why I Don’t Buy Organic, and I Love GMOs!
And if that doesn’t fire up a storm of something, here’s my secondary headline:
Apple is the Awesomest and Android is for Losers!
‘Cause after all, it’s usually the same level of passion on both sides, right? LOL
This is a serious article, though, and goes into why I started buying more organic foods a few years ago, but why I completely quit doing so in early 2014, because I realized that the science actually DOES support GMO food safety, and unfortunately, “Big Organic” is perfectly willing to lie and distort and misrepresent the science to frighten the public. Sadly, scientific literacy in the USA seems to be on the decline (especially in the halls of Congress!), and I have an opportunity as a medical provider to speak out. Sure, I’m a dentist, but I had to pass a heck of a lot of challenging science courses in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacology, etc. to graduate.
If you like organic, that’s fine. But please, don’t tell me the science is against GMOs, because it’s not. In fact, every single major scientific organization in the USA and Europe supports GMO safety. The European Science Foundation has even spoken out against the ban on GMOs in Europe.
I am a supporter of science, and because the science is clear, I don’t buy into the hype or fear that the organic industry tries to spread about conventional farming and GMO foods. As a dentist, I could clearly afford the more expensive organic products, but I choose not to do so.
