Sigh. This expose on organic myths is skewed, even if it's factual. One thing it doesn't mention, of concern to the meat eaters out there, is that organic livestock can't be treated with antibiotics. Which isn't irrelevant. The "more nutritious" issue has been debunked (British study narrowly defined "nutritious"), and the productivity issue isn't quite right. Besides, is the issue productivity or access? The world produces a lot of food. Food waste aside, production capacity isn't, in and of itself, going to get it to people in need, so arguing that however millions more would be starving is, simply put, bull$hit.

Have I mentioned how much I admire this man?
