Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 Well, seems 20/20's at it again... Does anyone remember their show about how organic foods are not safe, and that organically grown foods are contaminated with dangerous bacteria, are of questionable nutritional value, and have more harmful environmental impact than conventionally grown foods? The star witness was Dennis Avery, a " former research analyst for the Agriculture Department " , who contended that conventional farmers were the true miracle workers of modern agriculture and that organic farmers were using inefficient and dangerous practices. But what they didn't mention was that Avery works for the Hudson Institute which receives funding from chemical companies like Monsanto, Dupont, ConAgra and Procter and Gamble. He is also the author of the book " Saving the Planet with Pesticides and Plastics " .... http://newcenturynutrition.com/NCN/ariticles/organic_vegetables.html " ...it makes more sense not to needlessly expose your baby to these compounds, " ... But it's okay to needlessly expose you infant to the plethora of chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, and other nasty stuff in cows' milk? Give me a break. So far 20/20 would have us eating genetically modified, chemical laden produce and feeding our children the unhealthy and dangerous milk of another species. What's next? The joys and benefits of factory farming? > Tonight on 20/20 a special investigative report on > the upsides and downsides of soy. > > Is a high soy diet for everyone. > Friday evening - on 20/20 - ABC-TV -- ------------------------ Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmacafe.com powered by OutBlaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
