The debate about organic food

There is a lot been said about whether organic food is more beneficial. The BBC in their wisdom had a story about this today on the breakfast news (which is more about who throws who a ball at cricket rather than real news..) anyway I think that they have got the issues wrong (again) organic food cannot grow without exposure to the atmosphere and it certainly can't avoid acid rain. So these neo liberals who dedicate their lives to growing organic beards (not so much the women of course) have got the wrong end of the stick. The debate should be about mass production and the ethics of growing food that we then throw away to ensure that prices remain high. We should be focusing more on that and using fair methods in how we treat the animals that end up on our plate. The BBC should be talking about how imperative it is to support methods of food production that give the animals we eat a bit of a better life be it short? But then they always get things wrong. I blame the United Left myself!!
