They set up an argument that nobody makes and then knocked it down. How clever! These so-called scientists should be, but won't be, ashamed of themselves. They should be tossed from their academic positions.
I don't know of anyone who chooses organic over non-organic because it is more nutritious.
You want to argue organic vs conventional, try these on for size:
-- organic is tastier, and organic varieties are often more desirable
-- organic has no pesticides, or less pesticide contamination than conventional food
-- organic often supports local farmers
-- organic containers fewer additives
-- organic is often fresher
Now prove me wrong on these factors, and maybe I'll consider the findings. But don't set up the nutrition straw man and then knock it down.
