Then the world would be a MUCH better place!  If we all had the choice of organic or biotech foods, the world would be a better place because nobody would be hungry!  Not because one is an inherently better choice than the other.  We need organic and advanced food crops.  There is no reason why both can’t coexist.  That is a point I wish was made more clear in this video because we need organic agriculture.

There are a lot of misconceptions about organic foods.  Did you know that USDA certified organic food is legally allowed to have biotech material in it assuming certain criteria are met?  Or that there are a number of growth enhancing products that are allowed to be applied to organic crops.  Some have concentrated nitrogen, boron, copper sulfate… And so on.

My point is that people people should be given more information because it isn’t a black and white choice.  Organic is not always better than biotech and biotech is not always better than organic.  Polarizing statements make headlines, but the truth is we need every option out there so that someday, maybe, nobody will be hungry.  Maybe we can have biofuels for transportation instead of oil.  Maybe we can have enough fiber for building homes and shipping food.  I think we can!  Let’s get smarter.
