Zombie Apocalypse

On edit after view: I call rubbish on this.

* One family? Not a very big study. More like an anecdote, which is not valid data.
* No control group.
* Unblinded.
* Plus, Organic Ag still uses pesticides, just so-called natural ones.

Plus, then there's the fact that these days "organic" is as much a marketing term as anything.

I do not think this will stand up. We will see.
But this seems nothing more than propaganda by Big Organic and ideological followers.

Food is food. The "organic" label is just an excuse to charge more for the same damned thing.
