Kirk - E-coli on under-cooked hamburger kills rather often. Bacteria on organic stuff.
There a way to lie about any subject while still stating facts Well funded ? I wonder who would want to discount organic? Bob

Thanks for Hudson Institute and new Avery info, Steve... another
self-imposed and well-funded impediment... Sigh.

Does anyone know where there is any data for this assertion:

residues. But we have several examples of children killed by pathogenic
bacteria on organic produce," he added. <

Ya, "residues" are so omnipresent in conventional ag, there's no way you
could connect the dots yet, but "pesticides" themselves are well-known
cancer agents. Clever twist of phrase. My gut tells me increases in cancer
and neurological diseases in last 50 years have a lot to do with pesticide
residues.

I'd especially like to know what he uses for organic produce data. Anybody
know? Please reply privately if you don't want to post.
