Organic foods – The downside |
|||
Text 
|
A. The Cost factor: Organic food items are approximately 40% more expensive than conventional food, making it a luxury for the common man. B.The Quality of food: The critics of organic food think that the current fad for this food is hyped, possibly promoted by lobbies with vested interest. However, there are no scientific explanation to their claims.
C. Low Production: Most of the organic food is sold out as soon as it reaches the market, as the production of these food items is insufficient to meet the growing demand. The yield of organic foods is far too low compared to the conventional yield. |

Posted on: 08/25/2010 Schitterend, eindelijk eens iemand die kan aantonen dat BIO FOOD helemaal niet zo goed is voor het milieu, bv. normaal wordt het loof van aardappels doodgespoten net voordat ze geoost worden, bij de bio-boer worden ze verbrand, d.m.v. een heet gasapperaat wat over de planten heen gaat. Hierbij wordt zoveel gas gebruikt dat dit slechter voor het milieu is dat 10 bespuitingen (waarvan het middel al na 2 weken uit de grond is).
