RE: The Organic Fraud
Actually toxicity depends on the dose. The initial explanation about 'everything is a chemical' was to address chemophobia. My point is if we have control over the chemicals that we consume, it is perfectly alright.
We always meddled with the food; that's how we got high yielding crops, well producing animals etc. We nurtured whatsoever we found good. Almost all the fruits were less sweet and tasty. We overgrew the better ones that gave pleasure to our taste buds. As a result, now those species dominate over the lesser tasty ones.
We have to continue meddling with the food. Otherwise availing nutritious food for the ever exploding population would be extremely difficult.
Another solution of course would be to have no more than 1 child for every 1 person (i.e. 2 per couple), but that I guess is too radical.
Of course that would mean that the economy would collapse because older people are living longer, which would necessitate the discovery of scientific immortality to enable everyone to work, but that's a whole other issue.
