I suspect that a huge portion of the cost savings come from subsidy of cash crops. <br /><br />You neglected to mention that what the widely circulated Stanford study did find is that organics showed significantly less pesticide residue. Whether you want to avoid it or not is up to you, but that's the main reason most rational people choose organics (I'm aware that it's a lifestyle thing for many). As to research linking antibiotics in the food supply, this is impossible due to the fact that there is no required disclosure of types or amounts fed to animals. You can't study causality if you have no ready way to know how much or what kind have been used. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
