  • No just don’t trust downloading random pdf files that could cause harm to my system. Also if the overall scientific consensus says Organic is good in the US that is still good enough for me. Makes for happier animals and better quality products. Now if in Europe Organic has different standards that is not a US issue. This post started on USDA Organic standards not Europe.

    Please site proof from official sources. Organic can protect you from things like and not limited to. Taken from links I already posted.

    Materials or methods not allowed in organic farming include:

    Artificial (synthetic) fertilizers to add nutrients to the soil
    Sewage sludge as fertilizer
    Most synthetic pesticides for pest control
    Using radiation (irradiation) to preserve food or to get rid of disease or pests
    Using genetic technology to change the genetic makeup (genetic engineering) of crops, which can improve disease or  pest resistance, or to improve crop harvests
    Antibiotics or growth hormones for farm animals (livestock)
