Organic Foods Are Not Better For You--Minister

British Environment Secretary David Miliband has admitted what every non-granola chewing human already knew: organic food is no better for you than conventionally farmed produce:

Highly-priced organic food is no better for us than conventionally-grown farm produce, a Minister claimed.

Environment Secretary David Miliband said consumers who opted for chemical-free, naturally-produced food did so as a 'lifestyle choice' rather than because science had proved it was healthier

This should lay to rest the debate whether organically grown food is better for you than conventionally grown food. Haha, sure it will.

Proponents of organically grown food argue that the Minister is promoting the interests of the giant agri-business firms instead of telling the public the truth about conventionally grown foods. Who are these proponents? Take a guess...

Sales have doubled in six years to £1.6billion last year and are forecast to be worth £2.7billion by 2010.

Why it's the interests of the giant organic-business firms.

I believe the Minister when he says that eating organic foods is a lifestyle choice. I know people who only eat organic food and I'm sure they do it as some form of personal retribution to mother earth. They feel if they eat organic food that Gaia will bless them and make them whole..or whatever. However, farming organically takes up twice the amount of land as conventional farming, so actually organic food eaters are nothing more that earth rapists.

And that makes Gaia cry.
