"Only Organic" Promotes Chemophobia in #NewMacDonald Delusional Utopia, Throws Failed Twitter Party

"...


Indeed, the New MacDonald vision is so extreme, and paints such a false dichotomy, even organic farmers took offense. My regular readers will know that I am staunchly pro-biotech, and have chosen to boycott the organic industry. This type of proselytizing has served to reinforce my position that the organic industry has no redeeming qualities in its current state. I stand by my stance that organic agriculture, especially if used exclusively, will fail to feed the world’s growing population and will squander the earth’s resources.

This is one of those "you have to see it to, uh, 'see it' pieces."

Seriously, it does the job in bringing to light the ridiculousness of the "organic," anti-GMO goofiness that is promoted so vehemently by some.


Cheers to all!

Why does bad ag propaganda get so much love at DU, but reality just gets ignored?

Can anyone tell me?
